Compass Box Glasgow Blend

Applying the same skills, techniques and philosophy used for our “Signature Range” whiskeys, the Compass Box family offers a style within the world of blending that did not previously exist. It's an irresistible new alternative for both keen malt eaters and beginners alike. We call them artisan whiskeys.

This family of products recreates whiskeys from the 18th century when blends were, precisely, expressions of the art of “making whiskey”.
