Compass Box was launched in 2000 by the American John Glaser, who was previously International Marketing Director at Johnnie Walker. To promote his whisky, John travelled through London visiting pubs and bars with samples and, in idiosyncratic style, handing out business cards billing himself as “John Glaser – Whisky Zealot”.
Compass Box Nectarosity is a vibrant and indulgent blended Scotch whisky, inspired by the artistry of high-end patisserie. It opens with a bouquet of honeyed fruits, including lychee, apricot, and pineapple, complemented by notes of frangipane and buttery croissant. The palate is rich and creamy, delivering layers of juicy peach, poached pear, and tropical fruits, intertwined with toffee, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. The finish is moderately long, leaving a lasting impression of warm pastries, marzipan, and subtle spice.
