- Description
- Compass Box's Vellichor is a thoughtfully crafted blended Scotch that captures atmospheric inspiration through its choice of casks—bourbon barrels, sherry butts, recharred hogsheads, and refill wood bottled at 46% ABV. The nose opens with heathery honey, old leather, and dusty bookish notes, while the palate delivers smouldering heather, vanilla, dried fruit, and caramel with a beeswax texture. This is a whisky for contemplative drinking, suited to those who appreciate blending as a creative craft rather than a commercial formula.
