Compass Box Great King St Glasgow Blend

End of a working week and boy do I need a dram. This one sure packs a lot of components in. Apparently 34% Grain (Cameron Bridge) & 66% Malt (35% Benrinnes, 17% Laphroaig, 8% Clynelish, 2% Miltonduff, 4% Highland Malt (60% Clynelish, 20% Dailuaine, 20% Teaninich)). Maybe it's because it's the 1st dram in exactly (to the hour) 6 days, but I like it. Doesn't scream massive complexity or interestingness but it's well married. And cheap. Ah man Laphroaig I can taste thee. Honey, smoke and other stuff (hint plasticy as another reviewer mentioned?). Leaves a lovely afterglow. 3.5 to 3.75 rounding up to 4 as did I mention.....cheeeeap.

This is really good for the price.

Nose: Crisp, floral, citrus, sour, pear, and light peat Taste: Light and crisp with medium peat notes Finish: Warm and peaty At $35 I'll buy this whiskey all day
