Compass Box Great King Street
Glasgow Blend
Nose: A newspaper
fuelled bonfire, sea spray, sherry soaked sultanas, spiced port poached pears
covered in white chocolate sauce, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference spiced apple
strudel, mixed spice, sugared almonds, candied fennel fronds and a sprig-ette
of rosemary.
Palate: The
last smoke plumes from a dowsed beach bonfire, Roquito hot & sweet chilli
pepper pearls, sherry soaked sultanas, Dentyne cinnamon chewing gum, foam bananas,
coconut ice, Häagen Dazs Dulce De Leche ice cream, Frank Cooper Oxford orange
marmalade with ginger, Braeburn apples, wood spice, ground cloves, a pinch of
Maldon sea salt and a sprinkle-ette of freshly chopped parsley.
Finish: A
sumptuously sweet, smoky, spiced smacker of a long lush lingering finish.
Summary: Yet
another bountiful, balanced, belter from Mr Whisky Willy Wonka himself - the
man with the dramming Midas touch; John Glaser from Compass Box. An amazing big
bang for buck sub £30 bottle of blendage.
