Compass Box Great King St Artist's Blend

A blended scotch, mostly made by lowland grain whiskies, a cheap expression of Compass Box. Bottled at 43%abv deep gold color. On the nose a dim, soft aroma: Lemon, Coffee, Candy. Not too much happening here. On the palate a little better. Chocolate (typical from grain), Pepper, Oak so pleasant and smooth and Plant spicyness like oregano. Finish is very short. Dissapointing. Overall i give this dram a very regular 71 over 100. Not the best hour for compass box in this one.

Sweet apple fruity nose. On the palate, creamy vanilla and cereal notes with a nice spicy finish

Well I gotta say Compass Box is great blended scotch. They really have consistent quality and the grain is always refined so it never overpowers and tastes more like single malt. Bonus is non chill filtered and no coloring. Got this for around $35 so value is good as well. Poured neat(maybe 1 drop to open) nose is light fruit and malt with a touch of barrel/char. Smells fresh and balanced. Palate is smooth malt, ripe red apple drizzled with honey and just a flash of peat. Finish is malty barrel, fading dried fruits with char slightly drying. This is not super complex or thought provoking but it is delicious. Easy drinking with rich flavors at a solid price point I certainly recommend. Good for beginners without any real off notes as the lowland grain component is mild. I will be exploring the rest of the Compass line now for sure.......84/100 blend score

Tasty blended scotch. Great sipper. Real easy to drink. Best taken neat. Letting it open up in a glass for 5-10 minutes prior to drinking reveals a warmer tone to compliment the prominent fruity and vanilla notes. VERY good bang for your buck. Bonus tip: try pairing it with a cigar!
