This specific Compass Box blend is compared to an earlier bottle of the "same." Big thanks to TITAN of Whiskey Brian Dickerson for the bottle. All hail!
There was no "To fighting, stealing and drinking" today. It feels like the time when Nick Ross forgot to say "Don't have nightmares, do sleep well" on an episode of Crimewatch. Old British people will know what I mean.
The fact you can find out the grain %, the brands in the blend, the married date, bottle date etc.. They know they are catering to whisky nerds and I love it!
I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. This is one of my all time favorite scotches and it's only about $35, you could tell me this was $150 and I'd still buy it for a treat. It's so pure and balanced tasting to me. I'm talking about the 43% basic blend though, I haven't seen the 49% one.
You come to learn about different whiskeys of the world which is great but you bring people in so well that they have an actual good time watching the videos. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 keep up the good work 🥃
You can not close out an episode without the toast! I watch this before work every day and you just threw off my entire day. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and this show usually helps. Usually.
I just picked this up on a whim yesterday - very nice. I had not tried the previous iterations of this range - but seems the marrying cask aspect is a new aspect, as is bottling at 49% -- or maybe not, and they are just disclosing the single barrel aspect. Found very little on the interwebs, including the Compass Box website.
That's my store!!! I should go pop the cork on my bottle and follow along Edit: To not cause confusion, I don't own the store, just the one I frequent. In my excitement didn't think about how that statement could be taken, ha
From my research compass box tends to blend from different distilleries for different batch releases. It seems like they’re trying to create a certain experience but not necessarily the exact experience as the last batch.
God damn it. I can't get this around me. (Orange County, NY) Although, even the Artists Blend, which was readily available in many stores is drying up. I only know of one store that has it locally. I want this Glasgow blend so bad.
@@joravlin4902 in MN deliveries have to be made to a wholesaler with a license if importing. My best bet is to work with a liquor store here that can get it through one of those.
Now hear me out: Deer Corn Whiskey. Not admitting to any wrongdoing, however, but it makes a serviceable distillate and ages just fine in small barrels in the Texas heat.
I recently did a tasting with compass box and we compared one of these bottles to a regular retail bottle and it's much better. I also think it's bottled a little higher.
If you guys do a similar release it'd be really cool if you guys did a two bottle pack, one with the original blend and the other after it's spent time in a barrel.
I think Daniel is talking about a chimnea. Pronounced chimney-uh. I find I'm happier with the clay disposable ones than I was with the iron "permanent" one, tho maybe I'm spending more money.
Having difficulty reconciling D&R's tasting noted for the original Glasgow I am compelled as I watch this to pour myself one and drink along. I had just finished a dram of Redbreast Lustau and can't help wondering what the hell these two are babbling about with their tasting notes. Yes I know experience will vary depending on what you've had previously but I have always had a significant ash note with the Glasgow previously and following the Lustau it was intense. I decide to give it a day or so and repeat, this time preceding with Lagavulin 16 and damn if the Glasgow didn't taste like a completely different whiskey with virtually zero peaty influence at all, and what little there was, differed significantly enough from previous experiences as to present instead as a lingering aftertaste from the Lagavulin. Never had such a drastic swing between tastings.

you thumb nail pic has the old label on it with the horsemen and my bottle i purchased several years ago also had it but why is the horsemen no longer on the labels?
Just got a bottle of this and cracked it open. Was not impressed as it tasted like band-aids. Be saving this bottle for guests I really don't want sticking around long.
I was teased by the name "Glasglow Blend" but I was somewhat disappointed by it. I love auchentoshan, but this one was a bit meh for me.. Although when I first tasted Auchentoshan, that was my least favorite but over time it became my most favorite.
When they gave us a close-up of the label that says it is married in ex-sherry casks it really got my attention because I didn't know the Glasgow Blend is sherried. When they first nosed the original my heart sank because I suspect the regular bottling isn't sherried and that is where the 15% difference is coming from. Can anyone out there with a bottle confirm that?
If this were a marriage, we now know who is the husband and who is the wife. Daniel: "Oh, by the way, May 2019, May, in May of 2019 I said [BLANK] and you said [BLANK]. Now what do you have to say for yourself" Rex: (Paraphrasing) "I have no idea what you're talking about. We both know I only listen to 50% the things you say. Other 50% is focused on the "pweeble's" bunghole".
To explain “Columbia Hy-Vee” Hy-Vee is a regional grocery chain in the Midwest that always has a great liquor section. So this isn’t a great flavor drift comparison because this is a barrel pick, most likely from their store in Columbia, Missouri.
Hibiki Harmony has been missing from "the essentials" wall for a hot minute. What did you replace it with? Is there a list of every bottle on that wall?
You went into it a little bit, but it's no really fair to call this a comparison of flavor drift (or, in your spelling, "FLAVO[U]R Drift," lol). This is the equivalent of a scotch "barrel pick," where the store is involved with the finishing/blending barrel. It's not supposed to be the same as the standard Glasgow Blend. I don't know if the regular even gets marrying time in a new barrel (which would make sense, as the store picks tend to be quite a bit pricier).
The Canadian spirits have cried for we have been exposed. Return us to our rightful direction. For as the blizzard goes so shall we be obscured... Just kidding but what was the writing on the side in white

Was nice to see the full Titan intro. Been a while
"Chiminea" is the word Daniel is looking for at 4:30
Ben, you beat me to it.
Lol I was thinking of chillum...but that’s a little different
@@sweetkruegz i haven’t heard that word since college hahaha
Man haven’t seen the Titan Animation without warp speed in a while. Forgot how good it is lol
Finally! The non-sped up version. It's been so long since we have seen it all of its pink pixelated glory.
There was no "To fighting, stealing and drinking" today. It feels like the time when Nick Ross forgot to say "Don't have nightmares, do sleep well" on an episode of Crimewatch. Old British people will know what I mean.
The fact you can find out the grain %, the brands in the blend, the married date, bottle date etc.. They know they are catering to whisky nerds and I love it!
The sadness in Daniel's face when he fully realizes that he is the straight man of this duo. lol
4:47🤣 "Anyways,"
I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. This is one of my all time favorite scotches and it's only about $35, you could tell me this was $150 and I'd still buy it for a treat. It's so pure and balanced tasting to me.
I'm talking about the 43% basic blend though, I haven't seen the 49% one.
Can we just appreciate the fact that we got to see the full titan animation.
Thank you for the whole Titan animation! Not sure why you stopped doing it.
You come to learn about different whiskeys of the world which is great but you bring people in so well that they have an actual good time watching the videos. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 keep up the good work 🥃
Good Morning all you MB's
You can not close out an episode without the toast! I watch this before work every day and you just threw off my entire day. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and this show usually helps. Usually.
I always enjoy a good, full version, Titan animation.
My God... I haven't seen the Titan animation in its entirety in a while. It really is a gloriously long piece of magnificence!
Thanks for not fast forwarding through the Titans animation!
I have the Artist Blend but I haven't opened it yet.
Good to see Compass Box on the show, they are doing some great things...
Love what you did with FLAVO(U)R
Would love to visit you guys sometime!! Love your content!!
The whisky bar I work in, Eric Wait knows the one, has it's own Great King Street blend.
HyVee is a grocery store chain in the Midwest.
I had the bulk version once, i can confirm it tastes nothing like the single barrel pick they are describing. It sounds so much better.

They did the 'awkward pause' ending from the Craig Ferguson show.
So now I am intrigued about Canadians you like would love to see a video on that but maybe I'm under estimating how short that would be
It's been a while since I've seen a regular speed Titan of Whisk(e)y animation. I missed it so much.
That's my store!!! I should go pop the cork on my bottle and follow along
Edit: To not cause confusion, I don't own the store, just the one I frequent. In my excitement didn't think about how that statement could be taken, ha
where is that?
@@robviousobviously5757 Columbia, MO. Hy-Vee is a grocery store common around here
Now that joe rogan lives in Austin, do y’all plan to have him on the show since he is a whiskey & cigar fan? That would be pretty fkn awesome
“Don’t worry about it” my most common saying as a professional truck driver” 🤷🏻♂️
I had a marrying cask from The Party Source of this bottle from CB, and it was probably the best blended scotch I'll ever buy
From my research compass box tends to blend from different distilleries for different batch releases. It seems like they’re trying to create a certain experience but not necessarily the exact experience as the last batch.
God damn it. I can't get this around me. (Orange County, NY) Although, even the Artists Blend, which was readily available in many stores is drying up. I only know of one store that has it locally. I want this Glasgow blend so bad.
Glasgow Blend is just like Highland Park 12 but $15 a bottle cheaper. Its really good. Tasting them back to back they are more similar than different.
Has anyone ever made a whiskey called "The Meaning of Life" bottled at "42"%...just sayin
You have to imagine the amount of time it would take to age properly.
And a cask strength version "The Deeper Meaning of Liff"
"What's wrong with being drunk?" "Just ask our whiskey."
I just realized while watching, but it's been a while since I saw the regular-speed Titan Animation
Good Morning Gentlemen.
The artist blend Great Kings Street was my intro to "good" scotch - wish I could find the glasgow blend near me.
You can order it through their website.

I can't tell you how many times I've thought about using deer corn to make... Essential...uhhh...oils? Yeah, Totally. Does it taste worth a damn?
@@DRBales96 it's honestly not bad. REALLY corn dusty. Better at over 50% and aged about 6 months (theoretically, if course)
Daniel finally learnt how to say Clynelish, yaaas!
I recently did a tasting with compass box and we compared one of these bottles to a regular retail bottle and it's much better. I also think it's bottled a little higher.

Helpful smile, in every isle!
This may be worth a road trip to find. I'm in Oregon.
@@ethankriegel4614 He said Columbia Hy-Vee, my guess would be Columbia, Missouri.
@@DRock558 I checked the Hy Vee here in Austin, MN on lunch break. No dice.
@@DRock558 Looks like South Dakota is closest to Oregon.
damn that intro is so epic
Great review. I believe the fire pit you’re referencing is called a chimera.
chiminea
They also had a New York blend.
Such a great, unknown blended scotch.
I think Daniel is talking about a chimnea. Pronounced chimney-uh. I find I'm happier with the clay disposable ones than I was with the iron "permanent" one, tho maybe I'm spending more money.
Well... maybe in TX either one is permanent. Not in MN.
Smoke on the water!!!! Wait.....he said nose.
I was looking at picking that one up last week. Wishing I did now
Morning 🌄
Love the title.
Me, eating 29c ramen:
Those notes sound tasty
Best awkward pause ever!

I am very tired while watching this and when Daniel said "...burn my deck"... I heard something slightly different. Gave myself a little laugh.
The thing that happens when you put out a fire with WATER and you get that "different kind of smoke" is called stream 5:00
I believe that fire thing you are describing is called a chiminea
I forgot what the Titan intro sounded like at normal speed haha.

Nice to see Hy Vee on here
you thumb nail pic has the old label on it with the horsemen and my bottle i purchased several years ago also had it but why is the horsemen no longer on the labels?
I had no idea what petracore was. I am Not a mouth breather... but I am a knuckle dragger
Chiminea is the word I think you're looking for Daniel
It's nice to know there are some Americans who can pronounce Glasgow correctly! Most seem to say 'Glass-gaw'.
Sagamore seems to get top billing for the moment. :)
Enjoyed!
It’s called a salamander, for the fire-- my cousin had one for his deck…..
Yo I work at the store this came from!!!
Hmmm would inhaling ionized air like odor eliminating variety cleanse the pallet??? lol
Just got a bottle of this and cracked it open. Was not impressed as it tasted like band-aids. Be saving this bottle for guests I really don't want sticking around long.
The bottle that's turned around is the one that's hobbit head height.🧐
What's the fancy terminology for pencil shavings as a tasting note?
I was teased by the name "Glasglow Blend" but I was somewhat disappointed by it. I love auchentoshan, but this one was a bit meh for me.. Although when I first tasted Auchentoshan, that was my least favorite but over time it became my most favorite.
Daniel is a Bryan Gylnn internet /facebook fighting girl!
When they gave us a close-up of the label that says it is married in ex-sherry casks it really got my attention because I didn't know the Glasgow Blend is sherried. When they first nosed the original my heart sank because I suspect the regular bottling isn't sherried and that is where the 15% difference is coming from. Can anyone out there with a bottle confirm that?
Glynevvan is one of two whiskies that I have poured down the sink. Sorry on behalf of Canada.

By the looks of things, he's the one eating it lol

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S... wtf... no toast?

I love this episode. Fuckin hilarious. Thank you.
To explain “Columbia Hy-Vee”
Hy-Vee is a regional grocery chain in the Midwest that always has a great liquor section. So this isn’t a great flavor drift comparison because this is a barrel pick, most likely from their store in Columbia, Missouri.
As a Missourian I approve this message! And I have to start looking in Hy-Vee!!
Since I live in Columbia, MO I will be checking this out ASAP
What is the best way to send you folks some local craft distilled whiskey or bourbon to review?
Check the website. Instructions are there as well as the list of what they already have
Man mooches malt, mushrooms, magic, mystery & much, much more...
I don't think I've ever seen Daniel more defeated
Chimnea?
That's what came to mind too for me.
The fire thing is called a chiminea
Hibiki Harmony has been missing from "the essentials" wall for a hot minute. What did you replace it with? Is there a list of every bottle on that wall?
a question if there is evaporation of whiskey, can you not mail your barrel with plastic that keeps the whiskey?
Out of curiosity, how do you decide which Titans get the full video and who gets the sped up version?
First time Titans get the full music. Twice or more Titans will speed up in faster increments.
You went into it a little bit, but it's no really fair to call this a comparison of flavor drift (or, in your spelling, "FLAVO[U]R Drift," lol).

Geosmin is te compount that gives the petrichore smell. The more you know.....
Do the lights on the whiskey wall effect the whiskey, or is it just uv from the sun that effects it?
Its uv from the sun but mostly the heat. The lights are LED's. They don't put off any heat.
@@jacobharris6746 thank you
Petrichor is actually a made up word in the same vein as “sonder”. By the way Rex, Dan is a natural, he could give 5% and still be the bomb
Had to Google Petricore because I didn't know what the hell it meant
Why the more titans there are, the less Daniels seems to be caring about it anymore ? XD
