First launched in 2011 as a blended Scotch matured in first-fill Sherry casks, The Naked Grouse had won rave reviews. Now it is now being relaunched as a blended malt that isn't tied to conventional whisky rules. According to Edrington, the brand owner, the changes from blended Scotch to a blended malt are partly due to the increasing popularity of single malts and demand from bartenders for distinctive flavored whisky that leads to the new Naked Grouse that stands out from the crowd. It is pitched to be best enjoyed on its own or in mixed drinks and highballs.

Coinciding with its relaunch, The Naked Grouse will launch its Global Libarating Bar Swap this September. It will feature some of the best bars and bartenders from across the world who will travel in pairs representing their bars from Scandinavia to Asia.

The events will be taking places in six cities famous for their cutting edge bar scenes: Himkok in Oslo, Tjoget in Stockholm, East End and FRANK in Taipei, Manhattan Bar and Kilo Lounge in Singapore. Three of these six bars – Manhattan, Himkok and Tjoget – have been included in the World's 50 Best Bars list.

The Libarating Bar Swap will focus on flavor. Tasked by Naked Grouse to think on their feet in a foreign food market, these selected bartenders will create a cocktail that represents the city they're visiting, and a drink inspired by the city they're visiting from. This is to ensure the bar teams learn from each other and can share different ingredients and techniques. A serve inspired by Naked Grouse's signature cherry serve will also be created.



Flown in specially from Stockholm, Niklas Forslin, one of Stockholm's rising stars in the bar scene, and Andreas Bergman, the Bartender Of The Year at Bartenders Choice Awards 2016 in Sweden and co-owner of Linje Tio, will be at Manhattan Bar on 26 September. A must-try is The Salty Swede which is a mix of Naked Grouse, Swedish punch, espresso tincture and a pinch of salt while looking forward to an authentic Swedish bar experience in the Lion City.
