✨ Technical Specifications
Compass Box Orangerie is a groundbreaking Scotch whisky infusion that pays homage to the grand glasshouses of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, where European aristocracy cultivated exotic citrus fruits. Moving away from the artificial flavorings common in modern liqueurs, the blending house revived the traditional art of the cordial. This expression begins with a blend of smooth Highland single malt and clean Lowland single grain whiskies. The spirit is then carefully infused with hand-peeled zest of fresh Spanish Navalino oranges, sweet Indonesian cassia bark, and aromatic Sri Lankan cloves. The result is a beautifully integrated, vibrant spirit where the warmth of Scotch whisky harmonizes with bright citrus oils and delicate baking spices.
🍾 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.
