Compass Box Great King Street Glasgow Blend

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Old-school peaty blended Scotch whisky. Drawing on historical references that Glaswegians have long preferred bigger, smokier whiskies, the high malt content (approx. 65%) is inspired by 100-year-old recipes.”

TASTING: “Full, bold and smoky on the palate, Glasgow Blend unites the rich spice and fruitcake-like notes of Sherry cask ageing with the maritime punch of Islay malt whisky.”

TECHNICAL DETAILS:  “Bottled at 43% ABV. Natural colour. Not chill-filtered."

ABOUT US: "Founded in 2000, Compass Box is on a mission to make the world of Scotch whisky a more interesting place – exploring undiscovered territories beyond the map. From our Blending Room in Richmond, London, we continue to push the boundaries of what whisky can be, guided by flavour, not convention. Different to a distiller, more than a blender, we are Scotch Whiskymakers.

‘Whiskymaker’ is a word we invented – because what we do goes beyond tradition. We believe the most remarkable whiskies aren’t stumbled upon; they’re deliberately imagined. We masterfully blend with a balance of curiosity and precision, challenging assumptions at every step. Where others repeat, we reinvent – uncovering flavour experiences that surprise and delight.

Start your journey with our signature blend, Orchard House. Then, venture deeper into the flavour territories of Scotch with The Classics, Nectarosity, The Peat Monster, and Crimson Casks. Ready to go further? Our Limited Editions are where boundaries dissolve and new discoveries await. This is whisky beyond the map.

With our own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland and a small team of passionate whisky-lovers, we aim to delight everyone from curious newcomers to devoted aficionados. Because with more flavour, more character, and more imagination than any other spirit, Scotch whisky deserves to be explored."
