✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Double Single by Compass Box is a masterclass in minimalist blending, designed to challenge the traditional Scotch whisky convention that more components equal greater complexity. While typical blended Scotches can contain dozens of different malt and grain whiskies, Compass Box founder John Glaser set out to discover the absolute minimum required to create a beautiful, complete blend. The answer was simple: one single malt and one single grain. By combining a single malt (which provides rich, fruity, and ester-forward character) with a single grain whisky (which contributes a creamy, sweet, and structural vanilla backbone), Compass Box created an incredibly pure, elegant expression. Typically matured in first-fill bourbon casks and recharred American oak, this spirit showcases the profound synergy between malted barley and grain, demonstrating that clarity and restraint can yield extraordinary depth.
🍾 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.
