Glasgow Blend Bottling Note

Introduced to the Great King Street range by Compass Box in 2014, the Glasgow Blend is a superbly full-bodied blended Scotch whisky. It's made with 33% Lowland grain whisky and 67% malt whisky from the Highlands, Speyside and Islay, aged in a combination of first-fill and refill ex-bourbon barrels and first-fill Sherry casks, with a small portion being finished in new French oak. Plentiful amounts of Sherried fruit touches surrounding a core of peaty notes - yummers.

Fun note: The label features a picture of The Wellington Statue outside of Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, complete with traffic cone hat, said to be a symbol of the city's sense of humour.

Compass Box Great King Street - Glasgow Blend Reviews

Excellent

I enjoyed the strong peat taste and smoothness. Better than many single malts.

Another Compass Box success

Just picked it up based on the reputation of previous Compas Box blends. It is a very smooth blend of lowland and Highland and the flavours mingle very well, lots of character, nice and brash smoke and peat in the start, smoothing and changing personality as it finishes, quite clean on the palate. Another Compass Box success! I would rate it 90 at least, a great buy.

Buy it

Excellent blend. Big depth of flavor: from cinnamon and Christmas cake, fresh highland fruitiness and a big ever present peaty punch. For under $80 Canadian this was a steal.

Yes indeed

Smoke peat sherry whats not to like well worth the money

A little pricey but fine stuff

Takes over for where the old Black Bottle left off before the horrible change. Great mix of Islands and Speyside it would seem.

Strong peaty notes right away. Incredibly smooth. Peat on the tongue and breath. Subtly warming on the inside. Flavor doesn't linger in the mouth. Clean aftertaste. Nice.

Where the old Black Bottle left off

If you liked the old Black Bottle blend (Green pot still bottle) before there most recent change (er, mistake) you will indeed love this. It might even make you forget the old Black Bottle. A great blend of smoke, peat and sherry. Well done. My new blend.

Perfectly pleasant

I'm a huge fan of Compass Box's other offerings - Hedonism and Spice Tree in particular - this is quite lovely but for me a little too dominated by the peat and misses the complexity and depth of what I've come to expect. It's perfectly pleasant - just not a whisky I'm too interested in tasting again.
