Sans Compass Box is a specialist company started in 2000 devoted to making some of Scotland’s most unique whiskies through the art of blending. Similar to fine wine negociants, they choose individual casks from different distilleries that offer complementary sets of flavours. They then carefully blend these casks in small batches to make proprietary malt whiskies, grain whiskies, and malt & grain blends from distilleries across Scotland. Compass Box is also renowned for having (arguably) the industry’s highest quality standards for oak cask selection. When one considers that oak is responsible for up to 70% of the flavour of a mature whisky, one understands their mania. Only 100% American oak is used (predominantly first-fill casks). The colour of all the Compass Box whiskies is the natural colour of the whiskies from the casks. No caramel is added. The whiskies are also not chill filtered (a cosmetic process which strips flavour and texture from the whisky). As founder, John Glaser says, “Hazy whisky is a good sign that the whisky maker wants you to taste everything the whisky has to offer.â€?/em> These are indeed alluring whiskies for the free-thinking enthusiast.
