About this bottle

John Glaser, Compass Box's whisky maker, purchased two parcels of blended whisky. Although the exact provenance isn't known, he does know that part of the whisky was aged in American oak and part in sherry casks. One parcel is 33 years old and the other's age is not disclosed. Very limited production of 1698 bottles produced. As per usual with Compass Box, this is non chill filtered and all natural color.

This one was sooo good! I am sure there are better whiskies on earth, but I stick to the five stars. The taste is rich, intense, with dry fruits and almost dark chocolate, plus a very soft touch of smoke in the end to give structure to it. Love it!

Amazing. Full of flavors such as flowers, chocolate, sherry, dried fruit, vanilla, toffee, pepper, smoke, coconut, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cherries, peach, old oak, and leather

I salute the General! Flavors march to the palate from all directions, but stay in line. Really well balanced.
