Review 11 - Compass Box Great King Street Artist's Blend

In the third and final Compass Box Mini Series we look at the Blended Scotch Whisky Great King Street The Artist's Blend. The Great King street name derives from the company's head office in the picturesquely urban area of Edinburgh.

Great King Street is compromised of both Grain and malt whiskies making this a Blended whisky as opposed to a blended malt whisky.

Components are:
Grain - Girvan Distillery 46%
Malt - Teaninich  8%
Malt - Clynelish 29%
Malt - 'Highland Malt' (Teaninich, Dailuane, Clynelish)  17%

Malt Music

This light, delicate and yet flavoursome dram lends itself well to a lighter, airier accompaniment. With an almost summer breeze tone I think that Fleet Fox's Mykanos goes wonderfully with this dram.
