About this product

Primarily aged in: Oloroso Sherry-Seasoned Butts, American Oak Hogsheads, Ex-Bourbon Barrels This is a big, beautiful whisky. Inspired by the golden age of blending at the turn of the 20th Century, it's exactly the style of whisky that delighted the Glaswegian palate back then. With a much higher proportion of single malt whiskies than typical contemporary blends (around 65% of the recipe), it's rich, smoky, and unmistakably its own. As Aeneas MacDonald details in his book Whisky', 1900s Glasgow preferred a fuller-bodied and more flavourful style than other parts of the world. A hundred years on and the smoky-peaty signature in Glasgow Blend has lost none of its power to captivate, underpinned by whiskies aged in Oloroso Sherry-seasoned casks full of fruitcake and spice-like character. But please, don't take it too seriously. Because if there's something else Glaswegians are famous for it's their wry sense of humour. Have a close book at the Duke of Wellington statue on our label.

About the brand

For decades this regal monument outside Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art has been dressed down with a cheekily placed traffic cone. It's one of the city's most iconic images, a playful take on tradition that we share at Compass Box. Glasgow Blend is perfect sipped neat, with ice and water, or in cocktails. And while the prim and proper Duke of wellington may not have experimented with his whisky, we suggest you do - it's fantastic paired with cheese or charcuterie. John Glaser Whiskymaker
