Same recipe...


"In his 1930s book Whisky, Aeneas MacDonald teaches us that Glaswegians historically preferred fuller bodied and more flavour-packed whiskies than people in other parts of the world. So what better name for a whisky such as this?

Glaswegians are also famed for their sense of humour, which is why the citys Wellington statue traditionally dressed down with a traffic cone is featured on the front label.

Like Artist Blend, Glasgow Blend boasts a high single malt content. Inclusion of malt whisky matured in Oloroso Sherry-seasoned butts, and an Islay single malt of a powerfully peaty nature, has made this a blended Scotch whisky like no other."


Der Great King Street Glasgow Blend war einmal...Er wurde designed um den high-malt-content blends zu entsprechen, die in Glasgow vor Dekaden sehr populär waren.

Es ist ein blend von 33% single grain whisky aus der Cameronbridge grain distillery nahe - Edinburgh und 67% malts von Benrinnes, Laphroaig und Clynelish.

John Glaser, founder of Compass Box, said: Over a year in the making, the Glasgow Blend involved the creation of over 100 recipe prototypes before we finalised it.

Weve been trying to make a blended Scotch whisky like no other on the market today, something based on the traditional Scotch whisky styles of peatiness and Sherry cask ageing, but reinterpreted for todays drinkers who seek out big flavours, complexity and fullness on the palate.

This is full-on blended Scotch whisky, in all its Sherry-aged, peaty glory, classic in style, updated for today with its flavour intensity and sweetness part owing to the grain whiskies, part owing to the small amount of French oak finished malt. There is no blended Scotch Whisky quite like this.

Genau genommen ist das bereits der vierte Great King Street blend. Neben dem ersten, Artist's blend von 2012 gab es zwei experimentals, Nummer TR-06 und 00-V4 als small batches um herauszufinden, was denn nun als Great King Street blend 2014 erscheinen sollte. Diese hat oder hatte Compass Box auch im Angebot.
