The perfect whisky for the festive season

Has there ever been a whisky more aptly designed for the festive season than our very own Great King Street Glasgow Blend? With its full body, rich vein of smokiness, sherried nose and characteristic Compass Box sweetness it is a paragon of versatility for the weeks of feasting that lie ahead. Big, bold and complex enough to be enjoyed neat as a digestif, it can also be paired throughout your festive meals with blue-veined cheese, charcuterie, gingerbread or spiced puddings. Or if you’ve a little time on your hands, why not try a warming Glasgow is Burning cocktail: take 45ml Glasgow Blend, 15ml red vermouth, 2 drops Orange bitters and 1 barspoon Bénédictine. Stir with ice, strain and serve straight up garnished with orange zest. For more information about Great King Street Glasgow Blend, click here.
