    Compass Box This is not a luxury Whisky

    FINISH DATE
    30 April 2016

    The inspiration for this limited release is René Magrette's 1929 painting "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", a Surrealist painting which challenges peoples' perceptions of reality.

    This whisky is sourced from small parcels of old whiskies The Compass Box Whisky Co were very fortunate to come across, and which they are unlikely to find again in the near future.

    It is based on a majority of sherry cask matured malt whisky from the Glen Ord distillery.

    Blended Whisky

    Blended whisky is an artful marriage of different types of whiskies, typically combining grain whiskies with malt whiskies from various distilleries. This blending process aims to achieve a balance, creating a whisky with a harmonious flavour profile where the strengths of each component are highlighted, while any potential weaknesses are cleverly masked. Blended whiskies offer a consistent taste across batches, making them a favourite for both new whisky drinkers and connoisseurs alike. They can vary widely in style, often providing a smoother, more approachable character than single malts, and are perfect for enjoying neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for a cocktail. Each blend is a unique recipe, often kept secret by master blenders, showcasing their expertise in creating a spirit that's greater than the sum of its parts.
