Compass Box Magic Cask
Blended Malt
Compass Box // Scotland
RARE
Compass Box Magic Cask is a blended malt made from two single malts with James Saxon as the lead whiskymaker. One is from The Imperial Distillery (now closed) which aged in a first-fill bourbon cask. It comprises 92% of the blend.
The other single malt is from a "distillery near the town of Aberlour" and it aged in a first-fill oloroso seasoned butt. This is bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or added color. It is available in France, Germany, and the Netherlands in December 2020 and the US, UK, and Canada in January 2021.

Tasting Notes
"Flavors of nougat, milk chocolate and salted nuts prompted a "it taste like a Snickers!" notation. Further sips reveal aromas and flavors of fresh raspberry and vanilla, with a tingly heat of spice toward the finish. It's rather light-bodied, and could use some warmer depth, but it's definitely a fun one to sip. "
