✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Compass Box Oak Cross is a masterfully crafted Blended Malt Scotch Whisky that represents a bridge between two distinct oak maturation styles. The name 'Oak Cross' refers to the innovative use of both American and French oak. To create this expression, Compass Box sources high-quality single malt whiskies from renowned Highland distilleries, principally Teaninich, Clynelish, and Dailuaine. A portion of these whiskies is matured in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, providing a sweet, vanilla-driven foundation. Another portion is finished in custom-designed casks featuring heavily toasted French oak heads, imparting a rich, clove-like spice and structural complexity. This marriage of sweet American oak and spicy French oak creates a beautifully balanced, multi-layered whisky that showcases the art of modern blending.
🍾 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.
