Compass Box

The Story of the Spaniard is blended malt which has been bottled by the talented Compass Box. 48% aged in Spanish Wine Casks this is the story of the malt from Whiskymaker John Glass "A long time ago, a friend and I journeyed through the South of Spain, stopping by every little village bar we could. In one place, an elderly man took it upon himself to teach us about the local sherry wines. They captured my imagination with their nutty, saline character and tremendous spectrum of style. Years later, when I discovered Scotch whisky, I was reacquainted with sherry through whiskies aged in former sherry casks, which are known for the rich, deep flavours they provide. I've been drawn to this style of whisky ever since. Inspired by an eponymously named bespoke whisky we recently created for a bar in New York City called The Spaniard, we decided to explore this style further to create a malt whisky blend with its core whiskies aged in ex-sherry casks"
