Blended
Compass Box // Scotland
RARE
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.

Cask Typeex-Bourbon, ex-Oloroso Sherry
Tasting Notes
"There is a certain liveliness to this whisky, even with significant age. The Oloroso sherry influence is unmistakable with notes of dried fruit, leather, and barrel spices as the dominant characteristics, but they play nicely with each other. The finish is extraordinarily long and warming. Water, if used, should be used sparingly."
