Compass Box "Glasgow Blend" Blended Scotch Whisky

750ml bottle

43% abv

Rich, smoky, bold. This is old-school peaty blended Scotch whisky.

An homage to the historical tastes of Glaswegian whisky drinkers, this is led by rich, smoky, and spicy notes, with a mouth-coating Sherry wine sweetness.

Glasgow Blend is made with a very high proportion of Highland and Islay single malts (about 65%), combined with Lowland grain. It is matured in a combination of Sherry-seasoned butts, American Oak barrels and hogsheads, and custom French Oak casks.

Drawing on historical references that Glaswegians have long preferred bigger, smokier whiskies, the high malt content (approx. 65%) is inspired by 100-year-old recipes.

FLAVOUR PROFILE Full, bold, and smoky on the palate, Glasgow Blend unites the rich spice and fruitcake-like notes of Sherry cask ageing with the maritime punch of Islay malt whisky.

SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS Wonderful poured into a tumbler or wine glass pre- or post-dinner, maybe with a splash of water. The added weight of Glasgow Blend will bring extra depth to whisky-based cocktails.

TECHNICAL DETAILS Bottled at 43%. Natural color. Not chill-filtered. Blended Scotch Whisky.
