Great King Street Profile Blended Scotch Whisky

Great King Street is a true rebellious blended Scotch, designed to shake up the belief that blends are unworthy of a place in the home whisky cabinet. Refreshingly, Compass Box is extremely open about the constituents of its Great King Street Artist’s Blend: 46% Lowland grain,28% fruity Highland malt; 17% grassy Highland malt, and 9% meaty Speyside malt, all of which is matured in a mixture of first-fill American oak, first-fill Sherry butts and barrels with new French oak heads. The effect is a fruity and rich blend with notes of vanilla and a hint of spice.

In contrast, Great King Street Glasgow Blend contains a much higher proportion of malt whisky (67%) from Islay, the Highlands and Speyside, for a more robust, smoky and spicy dram.
