✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Compass Box's Experimental Grain Whisky is a testament to the blending house's boundary-pushing philosophy. This unique release highlights a fascinating quirk in Scotch whisky regulations: a portion of the blend is made from 100% malted barley distilled in a continuous Loch Lomond Coffey still, legally classifying it as a grain whisky rather than a single malt. Combined with conventional grain whiskies sourced from Cameronbridge, this expression challenges the traditional, often overlooked reputation of grain whiskies. It offers an incredibly rich, textured canvas featuring notes of soft peat smoke, vanilla, and sweet orchard fruits, showcasing the art of creative blending at its finest.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Compass Box er et banebrydende skotsk whisky blending-hus med base i London, grundlagt i 2000 af den amerikanske iværksætter og tidligere vinhandler John Glaser. Virksomheden fungerer som en uafhængig boutique-whiskymager frem for et traditionelt destilleri og udvælger enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra hele Skotland. Her nytænkes blending-kunsten gennem kreativ fadmodning, skræddersyede franske egetræsfade og et kompromisløst fokus på gennemsigtighed. Compass Box har udfordret de traditionelle konventioner i whiskyverdenen med sin progressive filosofi og håndværksmæssige tilgang, hvilket har resulteret i en alsidig portefølje, der hyldes for sin levende innovation og kompleksitet. Blandt husets mest roste signaturaftapninger findes Hedonism, en skelsættende blended grain whisky, samt anerkendte blended malts som The Peat Monster og The Spice Tree.
