To help celebrate the official UK launch of Compass Box’s Great King Street Glasgow Blend, the second permanent whisky to be introduced to their Great King Street range, we’ve teamed up with the award-winning Scotch whisky craft blender to give two of our readers the chance of winning a bottle of their latest release, signed by their Founder and Whisky Maker John Glaser.
Glasgow Blend has been created to provide a very different
expression of the Great King Street house style. While the whiskies share the
same moreishness, creaminess and approachability, Artist’s Blend is fruity,
spicy and packed with vanilla, while Glasgow Blend is rich, round smoky and
sherried.
This latest release offers a rich vein of peaty-smokiness
underpinned by sherry cask-aged whiskies full of dried fruit and wine character.
The palate is full and round, with a sweetness typical of whiskies from
Comapass Box.
The whisky is made from approximately 67% malt whisky from the regions of Islay, the Highlands and Speyside and 33% Lowland grain whisky from a Fife distillery. It is aged in a combination of first-fill Sherry casks, first-fill and refill ex-Bourbon barrels with a small portion of new French oak finishing.
