✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Released in 2017, 'No Name' is a landmark expression from the innovative blending house Compass Box, designed to let the sheer power of peat speak for itself without the distraction of a traditional name. This limited edition blended malt is a masterclass in smoky complexity, built around a massive, tarry, and intensely smoky single malt from Islay's south coast (Ardbeg), which makes up the vast majority of the recipe. To temper and layer this fierce peat, Compass Box blended in a portion of elegant, medicinal malt from another Islay distillery (Caol Ila), alongside a touch of waxy, fruity Clynelish malt and a proprietary Highland malt blend finished in heavily toasted French oak casks. The result is a beautifully structured, multi-dimensional dram that balances intense bonfire smoke, peat ash, and sea spray with delicate orchard fruits, vanilla, and rich 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.
