Compass Box "Great King St" Artist's Blend

Having tried a few premium blended malts from the Compass Box I was enticed to try this new blend that targets a more economical price point.  A solid blended malt for under $50, a price tag any Scotch drinker can appreciate.  Pours a light straw color with a fine body. A nice nose of sweet spices, nutmeg, clove, roasted apples and banana, with a finite alcohol bite. On the palate it's smooth, silky and warming, there's a touch of sweetness and a lightly smoky finish with definite notes of grain. Performs quite well on it's own, but it's a shoe in as an elegant mixer for soda.
