A curious Scottish blending experiment.

Compass Box and its founder, John Glaser (ex-marketing guy at Johnnie Walker), loves staying busy. After releasing numerous expressions and winning countless awards, the company came up with a special blending program. Great King Street, named for the address of the Edinburgh offices, is a range of Whiskies that aims to bring premium but approachable blends to drinkers that might not care for a glass of Whisky.

After the initial blending, the GKS Whiskies return to one of the original casks they were matured in (either a run-of-the-mill American barrel, a Sherry butt or a custom-toasted new French oak cask) to be married and united into a balanced and wonderful union. The result is a rich and round blend that juggles between both characters – like a flavorful marriage. You’ll savor everything from clove spice to creamy vanilla and fall in love with the concept of Whisky – if you’re not already a fan.

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
