Compass Box The Story of the Spaniard
Blended Malt
Compass Box // Scotland
Inspired by a bespoke bottling Compass Box created for a New York bar named The Spaniard, this bottling explores the sherried style further in this new permanent addition to the portfolio. At its core are single malt whiskies from the Highlands aged in Spanish sherry and Spanish red wine casks.
48% of the whisky aged in ex-sherry and 25% in ex-Spanish red wine casks. As always, the full recipe and exact proportions are listed on the brand's website.

Tasting Notes
"Stewed fruits, prunes, and syrupy medjool dates offered up on the nose. A lip-smackingly rich palate showcases waxy clover honey, Christmas fruit cake, and mulled wine with cloves. A short, sweet finish showcases dark chocolate, cocoa powder, ginger, and golden raisins. Sherry heads rejoice; non-sherry heads need not apply."
