Meaning and History
Whiskey production was started by Matthew Gloag & Son. Since 1800, the Gloag family has been importing European wines to Scotland. Was the supplier of these drinks to the Queen’s banquets. However, after the vineyards of France suffered from diseases, the family thought about creating a local drink. In 1896, Matthew Gloag, the grandson of the store’s first owner, began to produce Grouse whiskey. He did not have his production. The blend was created from spirits purchased at different distilleries. The case progressed slowly, but after nine years, Matthew registered the company and the official brand name “Famous Grouse” or Famous Grouse. After 100 years, the brand became the best-selling UK and was exported abroad. The company was taken over by Highland Distillers in 1970 and taken over by the Edrington Group in 1999.
Famous Grouse is a very conservative brand that strictly honors tradition. Despite more than a century of history, the creator’s signature or the inscription ESTD 1800 (founded in 1800) is present on every bottle of whiskey, as is the first bird logo that Matthew’s daughter came up with. The company is proud to maintain the consistently high quality of its drinks in this ever-changing world.
The logo is the brand’s name written in red letters at the top of the emblem. Below it, in the picture, a black grouse is very clearly drawn, standing on a black ground. Heather is located a little behind and in the background, the slightly blurry contours of the mountains. On the black earth, the inscription: favorite Scotch whiskey.
The logo contains images that are associated with Scotland. All elements perfectly convey the local nature and features of the region where the whiskey was created. This choice emphasizes the patriotism of the Scots.
Red Grouse is a unique species, a British endemic found mainly in Scotland, just like Famous Grouse whiskey is produced only in this country and combines the best local spirits. The image of the bird is very natural and detailed. As well as for the preparation of the drink, natural ingredients are used, and the recipe is very strictly followed. Moorlands are the main habitat of the bird, so the image of the plant was not chosen by chance. The black grouse stands turned to the right on all the emblems and looked forward. It symbolizes stability and gradual development. The location of the inscription at the top against the background of the autumn bright sky is an indicator of fame, the high position of the brand, a symbol of the grain harvest ripening at that time, used for the production of whiskey.
The Glenturret distillery, where the main grain component of the Grouse blend was produced, is located in the gorge, which was the reason for the mountains on the logo.
There are no elements of nature in a more compact version of the logo used on the company’s website. The name of the brand is written in the rectangular logo with the word The vertically located and a black grouse sitting in front of the inscription. The bird is depicted schematically with golden lines. Gold and the dominant position of black Grouse indicate the premium nature of the drink and its leading position.
Font and Colors
The color scheme of the emblem is chosen very harmoniously. It is a combination of brown, yellow, red and black. They match the colors of autumn nature.
