✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted to celebrate a decade of collaboration with the design agency Stranger & Stranger, this release is a testament to Compass Box's boundary-pushing philosophy. Technically classified as a 'Spirit Drink' rather than a Scotch whisky due to the inclusion of 1% experimental grain spirit (used to season virgin American oak casks), the remaining 99% of the blend consists of exceptional single malts from the Glen Elgin, Linkwood, and Auchroisk distilleries. This clever, rebellious composition yields a spirit of immense complexity, characterized by rich custard-like vanilla, fresh apple notes, and a warm, toasted oak spice that honors the art of creative 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.
