✨ Tekniske specifikationer
In 2005, Compass Box launched 'The Spice Tree,' a revolutionary blended malt that pushed the boundaries of traditional Scotch whisky maturation by inserting toasted French oak staves into the casks. This innovative technique drew the ire of the Scotch Whisky Association, leading to an infamous ban. Undeterred, founder John Glaser re-engineered the process using custom casks with heavily toasted French oak heads. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this legendary battle and triumph, Compass Box released the 'Spice Tree Extravaganza.' This limited edition builds upon the classic Spice Tree blueprint, incorporating older component whiskies and a significant portion of sherry-cask matured malt. The result is a deeper, more decadent spirit bursting with rich baking spices, dark fruits, and a velvety, warming finish.
🍾 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.
