Description
The Compass Box Glasgow Blend is an exceptional blended Scotch whisky that has been specially created for lovers of intense flavours with its strong, smoky and complex character. It is produced by the innovative whisky brand Compass Box, which is known for its unconventional and high-quality blends. Inspired by the whisky tradition of Glasgow, this blend brings together a carefully crafted mix of malt and grain whiskies, mainly from the Speyside region and Islay distilleries.
The Glasgow blend contains a high proportion of peaty Islay whisky as well as fruity and spicy malts from Speyside. It is matured in sherry and American oak casks, which gives it both smoky and sweet notes. With an alcohol content of 43% vol., it is a complex, well-balanced whisky with remarkable depth and structure.
Glasgow Blend, formerly also known as Great King Street Glasgow Blend – different name, same content.
