In his 1930 book Whisky, Aeneas MacDonald stated that Glaswegians historically preferred fuller-bodied and more flavor-packed whiskies than people in other parts of the world. ‘Great King Street – Glasgow Blend’ leans into this idea with rich, peat-smoked distillate underpinned by sherry cask-aged whiskies.

"Peat smoke leads the nose, with an undercurrent of vanilla. The robust, moderately smoky palate includes almond, shortbread and salted dark chocolate tones, exiting with espresso and cayenne pepper. Made with a blend of single malt and single grain whiskies. KARA NEWMAN"
