1st Glasgow blend married by Jill Boyd for South Africa.

As Aeneas MacDonald details in his book ‘Whisky’, 1900s Glasgow preferred a fuller-bodied and more flavourful style than other parts of the world . A hundred years on the smoky-peaty signature in GLASGOW BLEND has lost none of  its power to captive, under pined by whiskies aged in Oloroso Sherry-seasoned casks full of fruitcake and spice-like character.

But please don’t  take it too serioulsy. Because if there’s something else Glaswegiana are famous for, it’s their wry sense of humour. Have a close look at the Duke of Wellington statue on our label. For decades this regal monument outside Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art has been dressed down this a cheekily placed traffic cone. It’s one of the city’s most iconic image, a playful take on tradition that is shared at Compass Box.
