Product Description

An homage to the historical tastes of Glaswegian whisky drinkers, this is led by rich, smoky and spicy notes, with a mouthcoating Sherry wine sweetness

Old-school peaty blended Scotch whisky

In his 1930s book ‘Whisky’, Aeneas MacDonald teaches us that Glaswegians historically preferred fuller bodied and more flavour-packed whiskies than people in other parts of the world. So what better name for a whisky such as this?

Glaswegians are also famed for their sense of humour, which is why the city’s Wellington statue – traditionally dressed down with a traffic cone – is featured on the front label.

Drawing on historical references that Glaswegians have long preferred bigger, smokier whiskies,
the high malt content (approx. 65%) is inspired by 100-year-old recipes.

Better than Single Malt

Posted by joseph on 5th Sep 2020

The complexity and flavorful character of Great King Street disguises the fact that this is a blended Scotch whisky. Both the Artist's Blend and the Glasgow Blend have lots of good whisky flavor at a very reasonable price point.

ESSENTIALS OF PEATED WHISKY

Posted by joseph on 24th Nov 2017

This blended whisky from Compass Box is a good representation of what a decent peated whisky should be.. There are better peated malts out there, usually single malts from Speyside or Islay. But for the price, the Great King Street provides a fruity nose, a hint of peat smoke, a decent taste and good finish. If you are looking for more smoothness and a sweeter finish, without the peat, spend twice the money and buy a Nikka Coffey Malt or something similar. Being a peat enthusiast myself, this is my everyday whisky for drinking.
