Great King Street - Artist's Blend Whisky
Customer Rating
“In a blind taste test with GlenFiddich 12 and the GlenLivet 12, I had a hard time distinguishing between this and the Glenlivet. My new "go to" Scotch. Same color as Livet, and nearly identical, but much less expensive. I'm going to end up in rehab, but at least I'll meet some stars there.”

Description
A delicious, approachable blended Scotch whisky from the folks at Compass Box. The Great King Street range takes its name from their Edinburgh offices. The blend features Clynelish malt matured in first fill bourbon hogshead, a Highland malt blend aged in custom toasted new French oak barrels, malt from Linkwood matured in a sherry butt and a large proportion of Cameronbridge grain whisky aged in first fill American oak barrels.
Artist's Blend is incredibly enjoyable neat and works great in cocktails too. Win/Win!
This is the 70cl bottling.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet and creamy, with lots of cereal notes, some vanilla, dried fruits, citrus and apple crumble.
Palate
A gentle, creamy whisky, which develops a great deal of richness. Notes of Christmas spices, lemon, buttery apple crumble, Bakewell tart, rose petals and raisins.
Finish
Rich and sweet, with a long finish which tails off with notes of quince jelly, shortbread and spices.
Overall
Incredibly quaffable, an excellent whisky, and a definite crowd pleaser.
