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.
