✨ 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 blev grundlagt i 2000 af den visionære blender John Glaser og er et uafhængigt boutique-whiskymærke, der har sat sig for at gentænke den skotske blending-tradition. Virksomheden arbejder ud fra sit blending-studie i Richmond i London og har lagre i Skotland, hvorfra de går til skotsk whisky med samme kompromisløse tilgang som en passioneret vinmager. I stedet for at følge standardiserede industrielle opskrifter udvælger Compass Box førsteklasses malt- og grain-destillater fra hele Skotland. Disse modnes på skræddersyede fade af ristet, jomfrueligt fransk og amerikansk eg for at fremhæve helt specifikke aromatiske og strukturelle nuancer. Compass Box er desuden kendt for sin stædige kamp for fuld gennemsigtighed i whiskyverdenen og skaber udtryksfulde aftapninger, der altid er ufiltrerede og uden tilsat karamelfarve. Porteføljen byder på anmelderroste klassikere som den frugtdrevne Orchard House, den markant tørverøgede blended malt The Peat Monster og den banebrydende grain whisky Hedonism samt komplekse særudgaver som The Extinct Blends Quartet og Artist Blend.
