The brain child of John Glaser, Compass Box has changed the scotch whisky industry by challenging consumers perceptions of blended whisky. Calling themselves “Whiskymakers” and not “blenders” they offer the notion that blending isn’t just loosely mixing liquid. This is an art and requires a refined palate as well as an in depth understanding of scotch whisky. They accomplished what they set out to do, Compass Box is one of the most in demand whiskies, repeatedly showing in Whisky Advocates Top 20 lists. Compass Box’s Glasgow Blend pays tribute to Glaswegians’ penchant for peatier drams, a concept first noted by author Aeneas MacDonald in his 1930s novel “Whisky”.
Tasting Notes
From the producer: “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.”
Method
The Glasgow Blend contains a high amount of Islay and Highland malts- notably Laphoraig and Clyneish distilleries, blended with Lowland grain. Aged in a mix of American Oak Barrels, French Oak and Sherry butts. No added colour, non chill filtered and bottled at 43%.
