"For decades, The Wellington Statue, outside Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, has been cheekily topped by a traffic cone, something the local population has taken to heart as a symbol of their sense of humour. The statue has become one of Glasgow’s most iconic images and graces the label of this whisky.
33% Lowland grain whisky from a Fife distillery (North British).67% Malt whisky from the regions of Islay, the Highlands and Speyside.The Islay single malt comes from south shore distillery (probably Laproaigh, approximately 20% of the total recipe), vatted with a fruity malt from the village of Brora (Clynelish) and a rich sherrried Speyside malt from the Aberlour region (probably Dailuaine, approx. 33%). A small percentage of Speyside and Highland malts complete the recipe.
A combination of first-fill Sherry casks, first-fill and refill ex-Bourbon barrels and a small portion of new French oak finishing."A generous sample for reviewing was kindly sent to us by Compass box
