Compass Box Great King Street Glasgow Blend blended scotch whisky

The whiskies were aged in a combination of first-fill Sherry casks, first-fill and refill ex-bourbon barrels and a small portion finished in new French oak. Bottled at natural colour without chill-filtration.

The label features the Duke of Wellington statue outside the Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, which since the late 1980s has more often than not had an orange traffic cone placed like a comedy hat on Wellington’s head, a practice said to symbolise the Glaswegian sense of humour. Although discouraged by the local authorities, the practice continues and the cone-topped statue has become one of Glasgow’s most iconic images. View less
