Compass Box Great King St Glasgow Blend

""** Disclaimer: This review is what I would consider a “Quick Hit”- meaning I won’t have my usual in-depth notes that I usually like to take. The reason: this sample was poured at Whiskyfest DC on 4/17/18. All of these reviews will not be scored and I am actively looking to try them again at some point to do them more justice. This was the sister bottle to the Artist’s Blend and this one has more sherry cask influence, and therefore a much sweeter profile than the Artist’s. Both had similar vanilla and pie crust notes to them- with the Glasgow delivering a slightly smoother mouthfeel and a sweeter, vine fruit bite. Neither bottle showcases much cask influence nor do they offer much in the way of heat from ABV. Another fantastic, cheap sipper from CBW. Spend the $40 required, sit back and relax while enjoying this one neat from a highball glass.
