✨ Technical Specifications
Compass Box 'The Circus' is a legendary, highly limited blended Scotch whisky that captures the whimsical and artistic spirit of blending. Named in homage to Charlie Chaplin's 1928 silent film, this rare release was crafted from parcel-born whiskies—including single malts and single grains—that had been married together in sherry butts for an extended period. The result is a spectacularly rich, old-school Scotch with a profile defined by deep dried fruits, dark cocoa, and delicate wood spices. It represents the pinnacle of Compass Box's philosophy: that blending is a high art form capable of producing spirits of unmatched complexity and elegance.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2000 by American entrepreneur and former wine merchant John Glaser, Compass Box is a pioneering Scotch whisky blending house headquartered in London, England. Operating as an independent boutique whiskymaker rather than a traditional distiller, the company sources exceptional single malt and grain whiskies across Scotland, reimagining the art of blending through creative maturation, custom French oak cask management, and an unwavering commitment to transparency. Compass Box has challenged Scotch whisky conventions with its progressive philosophy and artisan approach, creating a diverse portfolio celebrated for vibrant innovation and complexity. Among their signature and highly acclaimed expressions are Hedonism, a benchmark blended grain whisky, alongside celebrated blended malts such as The Peat Monster and The Spice Tree.
