✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Celestial is the magnificent finale to Compass Box's acclaimed 'Extinct Blends Quartet,' a series dedicated to recreating the lost, historic flavor profiles of blended Scotch whiskies from the 20th century. This specific expression pays homage to the heavily peated, deeply complex blends of yesteryear, where intense coastal smoke seamlessly integrated with rich, mature grain whiskies. To achieve this ethereal character, the blending house combined legendary peated single malts from distilleries like Ardbeg and Caol Ila with exceptionally smooth, aged grain whiskies from Cameronbridge and Girvan. The result is a liquid time capsule that balances wild bonfire smoke, maritime brine, and herbal undertones with a silky, vanilla-rich sweetness, showcasing the blender's art at its absolute pinnacle.
🍾 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.
