✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Compass Box Canvas is an imaginative limited-edition blended malt Scotch whisky that showcases the blending house's artistic spirit. The centerpiece of this expression is the influence of experimental aging: a portion of the blend was finished in casks that previously held Spanish Vino de Naranja (orange wine from Andalusia), which infuses the spirit with a vibrant, citrusy brightness. This is married with single malts from distilleries such as Glen Elgin, Balmenach, and Miltonduff, aged in first-fill Bourbon barrels and re-charred American oak. The name 'Canvas' represents the blank slate of blending, where whiskies are treated as brushstrokes of flavor, resulting in a profile rich with notes of marmalade, forest honey, and baking spices.
🍾 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.
