Editorial insight
This is a particularly interesting bottle for those seeking a blend with greater weight, depth and a darker signature than many entry-level Scotches. It does not play on rarity, but on a well-defined style: smoke, Sherry, texture and a very clear personality.
Heritage & character
Compass Box Whisky Company was founded in 2000 by John Glaser with the intention of rethinking Scotch through the art of blending. Glasgow Blend takes its name from the historical preference of Glasgow drinkers for fuller, more flavourful and smoky whiskies, and its label pays tribute to the Wellington statue — a beloved icon of the city's popular humour.
