The set contains:
- 1x Compass Box GLASGOW BLEND Scotch Whisky 43% Vol. 0.05 l
Aeneas MacDonald's 1930s book "Whisky" taught us that Glaswegians historically prefer fuller-bodied and more flavorful whiskies.
Glaswegians are also known for their sense of humor, which is why the city's Wellington statue, traditionally dressed in a traffic cone, is featured on the front label.
This old school peated blended Scotch whisky, with a malt content of about 65% is inspired by 100 year old recipes.
Like the Artist Blend, the Glasgow Blend also features a high percentage of single malt. The addition of malt whisky aged in Oloroso Sherry-aged casks and an Islay single malt of a powerfully peaty nature give this blended Scotch whisky a character unlike any other.
- 1x Compass Box ORCHARD HOUSE Blended Malt 46% Vol. 0,05 l
The Compass Box ORCHARD HOUSE Blended Malt is the successor of the OAK CROSS.
The majority of the whiskies used for this are purchased freshly distilled. Subsequently, these distillates mature in barrels according to in-house specifications. Many distilleries used for this are specifically known for their fruity nuances.
- 1x Compass Box HEDONISM Blended Grain 43% Vol. 0,05 l
Hedonism is the first whisky created by Compass Box in 2000 and is characteristic of the distillery.
The inspiration behind the Hedonism bottling is just that; pleasure, pleasure, pleasure - a marriage of distilled spirit with a quality maturation in oak.
Hedonism will always be lush, smooth and creamy, but each year different whiskies are used in different combinations by Compass Box to achieve this.
Only very old casks are used for Hedonism, on average over 20 years old. And it is bottled only when the casks have the right flavor profile. (automated translation)
