Flavour notes

The aroma opens with malt and gentle spice, followed by vanilla, coconut and a bright citrus side of lemon, orange zest and grapefruit. There is also a clear floral note, with lily and iris.

On the palate the citrus becomes more pronounced. Pear adds a softer fruit accent, while cinnamon, vanilla and wood spice bring structure. The finish moves towards bitter orange, with a delicate aftertaste of wood and hazelnut.

Product info about Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl

Compass Box Great King Street Sherry is a Scottish whisky bottled at 43% in a 50cl format. Although this is the Sherry edition within the Great King Street name, the tasting notes point to a whisky that remains lively and detailed rather than heavy: malty, gently spiced, citrus-led and notably floral.

With only 3439 bottles produced, and with these being the last bottles, it naturally stands out in the selection at Drankenshop Broekmans. It is the kind of Compass Box release that draws attention from drinkers who enjoy limited bottlings with a clearly defined identity.

Its appeal lies in the small details: vanilla, coconut, lemon, orange zest and grapefruit, followed by pear, cinnamon, wood and hazelnut. A whisky with refinement rather than force.

About COMPASS BOX

John Glaser, the man behind Compass Box, reminds us from time to time that he first worked in the wine industry before entering the world of whisky. Perhaps this experience explains his completely unique, innovative perspective on the whisky scene. His way of designing whisky continuously surprises the scotch world, which generally follows a more academic approach. For example, a few months ago, John was once again called to account by the SWA (Scotch Whisky Association). The reason for this was too much transparency about the exact contents of several of his creations (age, names of distilleries of the spirits, type of cask, whisky percentages in the recipe,Èì), and that precisely during a period of persistent consumer demand for more information about the products they consume! Apart from this controversy, Compass Box indeed shakes the world of traditional blending to its foundations with a truly artisanal approach. This is, without any doubt, the key to the pleasure that Compass Box wants to offer enthusiasts with each of its creations. For this purpose, Glaser goes much further than the average merchant in selecting his single malts and single grains. He commits himself to not only developing a new whisky during the blending of these eaux de vie, but also to evoking a previously completely unknown emotion.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl a whisky to invest in?

Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl is a whisky of Compass Box that was referred to by us as a Collector'swhisky. That is, we believe they have the most potential to increase in value over time.

Whether that will actually happen we obviously cannot predict. We therefore always advise never to invest or speculate in whisky that you would never want to drink yourself out of.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl een goede keuze voor mij?

This Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl can be a whisky that suits you if you like a whisky with a woody character. Indeed, this woodiness is quite emphatic in the flavour profile.

However, we recommend that you also check out the rest of the flavour profile, as this is of course only one part of the overall character of this whisky.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl a tarred whisky?

No, there is no peat in the flavour profile in this Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl whisky . The absence of any smokiness therefore makes it suitable for those who do not like a peat flavour.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl a spicy whisky?

Yes, Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl is a whisky with a fairly spicy flavour profile: the spiciness of this whisky will be discernible right from the first sip from your glass.

The spiciness of a spirit can come about in different ways.

  • In whisky, the spicy notes mainly arise during the maturation process in wooden casks. The type of wood used (e.g. American oak, European oak) and whether the casks have been used before (e.g. sherry casks) have a big influence on the spiciness of the whisky that comes out of them.
  • With rum, the spicy notes can also come from the barrels used, but in addition there is also a separate class of "Spiced rum" where extra spices are added.
  • Gin has a much shorter production cycle and therefore does not usually get its spiciness from wood. Spicy notes in a gin are usually the direct result of the botanicals used to "colour" the gin and give it its own identity.
Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl a fruity whisky?

Yes, Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl is a whisky with an intensely fruity flavour profile: the fruitiness of this whisky will be discernible right from the first sip from your glass.

  • Whiskies with a fruity character can range from light and fresh apple notes to deep, ripe stone fruits and exotic aromas. This fruitiness can come from the grains, yeast and fermentation used, the shape of the pot stills and the cask type.
  • Rum made from sugar cane or molasses lends itself ideally to fruity notes. From the fresh citrus aromas of a white rum to the deep pineapple and banana notes of an aged variety - fruitiness is an essential characteristic in many rums. Again, the same factors affect fruitiness as with whisky.
Do you drink Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl pure or with ice?

Whether you drink this Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl whisky best with or without ice is a personal choice. We have always chosen not to take a stance on adding water or ice to whisky. There are certainly good reasons to add a little water to your whisky, but whether it adds value to you or detracts from your enjoyment is something you should mainly discover for yourself.

Does Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl have a high alcohol content?

This whisky from Compass Box has a normal alcohol content. Within whisky alcohol levels of up to 43% are most common.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl an independent bottling?

Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl is a whisky of the Compass Box brand bottled by the independent bottler . That makes this bottle an independent bottling.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl suitable for an Irish Coffee?

To make an Irish Coffee according to the rules of the art, you need an Irish whiskey. Since you are going to mix it with coffee and whipped cream, we recommend using a good, but not overpriced whiskey. This Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl is a whiskey, but because this whiskey comes from Scotland it is not the best choice to make a "real" Irish Coffee.

Did you know that the first Irish Coffee was invented in 1942 by bartender Joe Sheridan? He was working at the airport in Foynes, in the west of Ireland. The barman saw some tired passengers and figured they needed coffee with something special. To perk them up, he poured them coffee with a dash of whiskey mixed in and some coffee on top. When asked if it was Brazilian coffee, Sheridon replied, "No, my friend, this is Irish Coffee." And so it was.

Is Compass Box Great King Street Sherry 50cl vegan?

How do I get started on Scotch whisky?

Many people assume that a more expensive bottle of Scotch whisky is automatically better. It sounds logical: the higher the price, the better the quality. But in reality, the difference between a bottle of a few tens and one worth thousands of euros is rarely purely in the taste. What you pay has much more to do with age, scarcity, marketing and reputation than with what you actually taste in your glass.

To understand this properly, it helps to look at Scotch in different "levels". Each level tells you something about what you are drinking and, more importantly, what you are paying for, but not every epicurean goes through all these levels.

You can read all about it in our blog post Why an expensive Scotch doesn't necessarily taste better - the different levels of Scotch.
