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”.
Based around malt whiskies aged in Spanish Sherry and Spanish red wine casks. A full, sumptuous style.
Nose:
Notes of citrus peel, red wine and spices.
Palate:
A long finish, with hints of vanilla panna cotta, berries and cherries.
Finish:
Ideal for late evening sipping, served on its own, with a large ice cube, or splash of water. Serve in a wine glass as a nod to the Spanish wine cask maturation!
