Compass Box Magic Cask Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Stewarded by John Glaser, Compass Box Whisky Company has been pushing the boundaries of blended whisky since its inception in 2000. "Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of complexity by blending whisky," says Glaser, who was named "Innovator of the Year" four times by Whisky Magazine and "Pioneer of the Year" twice by Malt Advocate. Compass Box Magic Cask started with an experimental maturation in 2016, when they re-racked a robust one-year-old malt spirit into first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butts sourced from Bodega José y Miguel Martín (J&MM). After 3 years, a particular cask (#2) stood out from the rest. By that time, they had been sitting on a parcel of first-fill bourbon casks of single malt from the now-defunct Imperial Distillery for quite some time. When the younger malt from the oloroso-seasoned casks was blended with this whisky, magic happened.

Tasting Notes

The nose is fruity with marmalade, tea, vanilla, and dark fruit aromas. Look for toffee, apple, oak, spice, plum, and a touch of chocolate on the rich palate that leads to a sweet and gently spicy finish.
