✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Inspired by the O. Henry short story of the same name, 'The Lost Blend' is a legendary limited-edition release from the innovative blending house Compass Box. It was crafted as a spiritual successor to 'Eleuthera', Compass Box's very first blended malt, which had to be discontinued when key constituent whiskies became unavailable. To recreate this lost flavor profile, whiskies from the Clynelish, Caol Ila, and Allt-A-Bhainne distilleries were meticulously selected. The result is an elegant marriage of waxy, fruity Highland character with a delicate, earthy peat smoke from Islay, showcasing the absolute pinnacle of the blender's art.
🍾 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.
