Great King Street Scotch "Artist Blend"

This Blended Scotch Whisky, comes from our friends at Compass Box. Artist’s Blend is a marriage of delicate Lowland grain and robust, complex Highland malt whiskies. Here are five key things that set apart Great King Street from any other Blended Scotch Whisky brand: 1. Great Grain. First, we start with the very highest quality single grain Scotch whiskies which are the foundation of good Blended Scotch. We source ours from a renowned Lowland distillery, all aged in “ rst ll” American oak barrels, which makes the grain whisky much richer and sweeter on the palate. 2. More Malt. Secondly, we use a higher proportion of malt whisky than most other Blends. Artist’s Blend consists of almost 50% malt whisky, far more than the approximately 30% that most blends use. This provides more character and complexity. 3. Better Oak. Every cask of whisky used to make Artist’s Blend is of the highest quality: rst- ll American oak casks, rst- ll European oak ex-Sherry butts and new heavily-toasted French oak. 4. Bottled Naturally. Artist’s Blend is bottled at its natural colour and without the chill ltration prior to bottling which most Scotch whiskies go through. This leaves the whisky full of its natural complexity and mouthfeel. 5. Traditional Strength. We bottle Artist’s Blend at 43% alcohol by volume, a strength traditionally used in Scotland many years ago.
