✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The creation of Compass Box Magic Cask centers on the discovery of a single, extraordinary cask. In 2016, the blending team acquired a parcel of single malt from the closed Imperial Distillery that had been re-racked into a first-fill Oloroso sherry-seasoned butt. Over the years, this specific cask developed an exceptionally rich, deep, and spiced character of such high quality that the blenders referred to it as 'magic.' To create a harmonious blend, this robust, sherry-forward component was married with a parcel of waxy, fruit-forward single malt from the Clynelish Distillery. This limited release celebrates the art of cask selection and the transformative power of oak, offering a complex profile of dark fruits, baking spices, and a signature waxy texture.
🍾 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.
