Part of the Great King Street series, this
is a sweetie of a blended Scotch. The first featherlight sips open with vanilla custard, orchard fruit and coconut cream, rounding into enticing red fruit on the finish. A splash of water unlocks more red fruit, along with tinges of butterscotch, oak and spice. *Best Buy* (KN)

Nostalgic aromas of wafers, white chocolate, hints of spice, and vanilla ice cream make this a mouthwatering choice. Sweet and creamy, there are rich flavors of vanilla panna cotta, candied fruit, pear, apricot, and white chocolate, adding caramel, custard creams, and sliced banana toward the end. Inspired by great blenders from many generations ago, this is astonishingly good for pleasurable drinking and mixing. (JM, Fall 2020)
K&L Notes
(Formerly Compass Box Great King Street "Artist's" Blended Scotch Whisky - just a new package and a less cumbersome name) The illustrious John Glaser does it again with this exceptional little blend. This guy is single-handedly making blended whisky cool again, and owning a bottle of the Great King Street definitely makes you the coolest guy on the block.
