Compass Box Glasgow Blend 43% 700ml | Smoky & Sherry Scented Blended Scotch

An innovative smoky & sherry blend, crafted like art

Compass Box Glasgow Blend is a blended Scotch whisky from Compass Box, a company that has revolutionized the whisky world with its unprecedented and innovative ideas. Formerly known as "Great King Street Glasgow Blend," this beloved label has been reborn as a 700ml bottle, making its long-awaited re-debut. Compared to the brand's "Artist Blend," this bottle offers a more robust smokiness and a rich sherry flavor, resulting in a full-bodied drinking experience.

Key Features: Artful Blending with Utmost Transparency

Founder John Glaser, who personally handles all the blending, was previously the global marketing director for Johnnie Walker. Driven by the belief that whisky making is an art form, he creates exceptional works. The Glasgow Blend's most significant feature is its highly transparent recipe. It meticulously blends first-fill bourbon casks from Cameronbridge Distillery (35.2%), first-fill Oloroso sherry butts from distilleries near Aberlour village (29%), and refill barrels from Laphroaig Distillery (18.2%), among others, to achieve a complex and profound flavor.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics

Poured into a glass, its beautifully radiant amber color catches the eye. The aroma presents a sweet smoke, layered with light cocoa and toffee nuances. On the palate, a rich, smoky body unfolds, accompanied by fruity and bittersweet notes reminiscent of raisins, cocoa, and marmalade. The finish is a pleasant, lingering spicy and smoky aftertaste.

Recommended Ways to Enjoy

While savoring the intricate recipe straight or on the rocks is excellent, highballs that leverage its rich and smoky taste are also exceptional. Diluting it with soda water causes the sweetness and aroma to burst forth brilliantly, making it a superb choice whether as a drink with a meal or as a companion during relaxation.
