- Description
- Compass Box blends peated grain from Loch Lomond with unpeated spirits from Cameronbridge and North British, plus additional matured Hedonism, creating an intriguing smoky counterpoint to their creamy flagship grain expression. The peated component introduces smoke and subtle spice complexity that cuts through the grain's natural sweetness and cereal notes, while bourbon and recharred wood aging adds vanilla and oak structure. This experimental approach suits curious drinkers seeking grain whisky that challenges expectations.
