This one will transport you straight to Glasgow.
The beautiful land of Scotland is filled with delicious Whiskies sprouting out from everywhere and just waiting for someone to find them and see them for what they could be. There is extra life waiting for them and extra depth in the flavors. If only there would be someone to recognize them for their full potential, marry the ones who fit, and let them rest for enough time to develop their connection fully. Luckily, there is someone. His name is John Glaser, a former marketing executive for Johnnie Walker, who set out on this quest in 2000 when he established Compass Box, a Scotch Whiskymaker. An adventurer by heart and a true spirit enthusiast, Glaser has since blended enough winning bottles to become synonyms with independent blending and bottling in Scotland.
The good people of Glasgow always liked their Whisky extra deep, full-bodied, rich, and smokey. And you guessed it, the Glasgow blend from the Compass box is just that: a peaty deliciousness on your tongue with a long smoky finish, best enjoyed neat or with some water - even if you pour a little extra, this amazing Spirit has enough essence to still bless you with a tremendous depth of flavor. For extra hedonistic indulgence, we recommend you combine it with rich cheeses and cured meat. Made mostly from single malts from Highlands, and a single malt from an Oloroso Sherry-seasoned butts, this tremendous Spirit is bottled non-chill filtered, at an ABV of 43%.

Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
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!
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
