Compass Box was launched in 2000 by the American John Glaser, who was previously International Marketing Director at Johnnie Walker. To promote his whisky, John travelled through London visiting pubs and bars with samples and, in idiosyncratic style, handing out business cards billing himself as “John Glaser – Whisky Zealot.” Compass Box’s modus operandi and strong work ethic is what sets them apart as an independent bottler and blender like no other. Compass Box buys individual casks and focuses on creating a craftsman-like boutique product. None of their bottlings are chill-filtered, nor is any coloring added and all are married exclusively in American oak. This brings the characteristic sweetness to the whisky. Named for the address of Compass Box’s Edinburgh offices, Great King Street is a new range of highly approachable whiskies, including this Artist's Blend, matured in a mix of first-fill American oak barrels, French oak hybrid barrels, and sherry butts, resulting in a soft and fruity blend with spicy apple notes and toasty oaky flavors.
