Compass Box Great King St Glasgow Blend

For a $30 bottle, this scotch is well worth it. Great entry into peated scotch.

On the nose, chocolate, lemon infused raisins with a spray of salt and smoke. On the palate, cashews, a dash of honey, minty, fresh fruit and a very creamy mouthfeel that wraps up with a little savoury spice. A delicious, if somewhat short finish of smoke, vanilla, oak and salty.

idk anything about whiskey but this taste kinda nice

Strong band-aid scent dominates the nose initially, peat smoke emerges next with some stone fruit subtly in the background, the palate is rich, buttery and smooth with some honey and faint caramel notes, a hint of smoke appears late in the spicy medium finish.

This blend has a smooth and even peat smoke taste. It’s not too overpowering and is perfectly balanced. Easy to sip on neat. I would drink again!

Nose • Strong vanilla • Smokey, noticeable but much lighter than an Ardbeg or Laphroig • Malty sweetness Taste • Not vanilla. Very different to the nose. Surprisingly so. • Sweet up front hit. Lolly sweetness • Peppery in the middle, not overwhelming alcohol, just a very pleasant pepperyness • Smokey, dry ash. • Pleasant bitterness maybe a bit nutty. • Tiny hint of salt • Sweet caramel undertone. After • Dry ash • Sweet caramel • Salty undertone Slightly dry finish. Really nice. Would buy this regularly
