Compass Box 3 Year Deluxe Blended Malt

A 3 Year Blended Malt for $300? Don't let the age statement fool you! Scotch regulations prohibit producers from sharing the ages of older whisky components in their blends and this release from the rouge, independent blender Compass Box pokes fun at that. The blend contains only 0.4% three year old malt whisky from Clynelish, near the village of Brora; the rest is 90.3% malt whisky from the same distillery of "unstated but considerably older age" and 9.3% peaty malt whisky from Talisker on the Isle of Skye. It's bottled without chill-filtering or added color at 49.2% ABV. A limited 3,282 bottles were made available in October 2016.
