Going with the "Less is More" philosophy, this blended Scotch bottling from Compass Box is comprised of just two whiskies - one single malt and one single grain. The single malt portion hails from Glen Elgin and accounts for 72% of the volume. It was aged in re-charred ex-bourbon hogsheads.

The single grain is from Girvan and accounts for 28% of the whisky. It was aged in re-charred ex-bourbon barrels. This limited edition release, the third such bottling from Compass Box, was bottled in March 2017 and there were 5838 bottles produced.

Tasting Notes

"The nose offers a mix of vanilla and toffee, along with citrus zest, candied fruits—especially those chewy, sugary orange slices—along with heather, waxiness, and spice. A creamy palate delivers vanilla custard, chocolate, lemons, more citrus zest and spice, and cedar wood. A moderate length finish is smooth and offers menthol with underlying rich vanillins, eucalyptus, and yet more spicy citrus zest. "
