The Grouse Room concept and inspiration began as a family ritual in the home and hearts of the Chiasson family, led by Willard Chiasson (father of 6) and John Chiasson (the eldest son). From Matt Chiasson, in his own words: “So it started off at Christmas time. Dad would bring a bottle of famous grouse scotch, and he and John, John being the oldest boy, would, when it was time, pour a glass of The Famous Grouse for themselves and all the siblings, and any grandkids who were of age. Everybody in the family would have either a full shot, a half shot, or a little nip to taste based on their age. It became a tradition at the main family events, whether it was Christmas or a birthday, or the anniversary of Mom’s death, something like that. The family would toast to, usually my mother, and then to the event that we came together for, and of course to The Grouse. That started resonating with the family, and soon my nieces and nephews would text or call me with: “Uncle Matt, let’s go find a large nip of Famous Grouse Scotch.” Well we now have a place to do that on a regular basis!’” – Matt Chiasson, Owner, The Grouse Room
