Great King Street Artist's Blend. Image courtesy Compass Box. The first release in the Great King Street range from Compass Box, with a nose that is rich and malty, but still creamy and smooth with notes of vanilla, fresh berry cobbler, and a hint of straw. The taste is creamy and rich with great spicy notes of allspice, black pepper, and clove balanced by honey and vanilla underneath with a hint of oak in great balance. The finish is dry, long, and smooth. Excellent! (Retasted January, 2015)
