The company
Compass Box is not only an independent bottler, but also a producer and marketer of various blended Scotch whiskies. It stands for modern ideas, creativity and transparency. The company, which has its headquarters in Richmond, has had a lasting influence on the whisky market through unconventional concepts and creative blends. The brand stands for an alternative approach in which selected whiskies from different distilleries are combined to create new, innovative compositions.
Founded in 2000 by John Glaser, Compass Box reinterprets the traditional art of whisky blending by consciously combining whiskies from different distilleries. Unlike traditional bottlers, who present individual casks true to the original, Compass Box focusses on the targeted combination of different whisky characters. This method makes it possible to create blends that offer both surprising and balanced flavour profiles.
Compass Box attaches great importance to transparency and quality. The company also favours original packaging designs. The combination of innovative blending artistry and appealing presentation has made Compass Box a distinctive player on the whisky scene.
The range
Compass Box has made a name for itself with distinctive blends.
The brand's first blend, Hedonism, forms the foundation of the portfolio and impresses with a balanced combination of sweet and spicy notes that harmonise with each other.
The Peat Monster is aimed at lovers of peaty whiskies and impresses with its intense peat character, which, together with fruity and spicy elements, creates a complex flavour profile.
With Spice Tree, Compass Box sets an innovative accent by emphasising the variety of spicy notes and fruity accents in this blend.
With Oak Cross, the influence of cask maturation plays a central role, whereby the blend emphasises the importance of the wood and achieves a balance between fruity nuances and the characteristic aromas of the cask.
The range is regularly supplemented by new bottlings such as Orchard House, Artist Blend, The One I Love and Nectarosity, which continue to enrich the whisky market.
