✨ Technical Specifications
Tobias & The Angel is a legendary, highly limited blended malt Scotch whisky from the innovative blending house Compass Box. The expression is named after the 15th-century painting 'Tobias and the Angel' from the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio, which famously features details painted by a young Leonardo da Vinci. This masterpiece of blending represents a dramatic, artistic synergy between two iconic Scottish distilleries. It marries an exceptionally mature, peat-heavy single malt from Caol Ila on Islay (representing the ethereal, protective Angel) with a younger, vibrant, and characteristically waxy single malt from Clynelish in the Highlands (representing Tobias). The result is an incredibly complex, textured spirit where maritime peat smoke, medicinal undertones, and coastal brine beautifully intertwine with rich notes of honey, waxy citrus, and delicate spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2000 by visionary blender John Glaser, Compass Box is an independent boutique Scotch whiskymaking house dedicated to reimagining the traditions of blending. Operating out of its blending studio in Richmond, London, with warehouse maturation bases in Scotland, the firm approaches Scotch with the exacting philosophy of an artisan winemaker. Rather than relying on standard industrial recipes, Compass Box sources premier malt and grain distillates across Scotland, aging them in bespoke cooperage using toasted virgin French and American oak to highlight distinct structural and aromatic elements. Known for its staunch campaign for radical transparency, Compass Box crafts expressive, non-chill-filtered bottlings free of artificial coloring. Celebrated benchmark releases include the orchard-fruit-forward Orchard House, the heavily peated Blended Malt The Peat Monster, the pioneering grain blend Hedonism, and intricate limited releases such as The Extinct Blends Quartet and Artist Blend.
