Portrait: What makes the Vellichor Compass Box special

The big advantage of Blended whisky? You are not limited to the character of one distillery, but can enjoy the best characteristics from different distilleries combined. Hardly anyone can do this at such a high level as Compass Box. John Glaser and team create textures and flavors that a single whisky often cannot achieve. For their luxury blends the “Whiskymakers” combine high-quality single malt and single grain whiskies from their own Casks warehouse in Scotland.

For the Limited Edition Vellichor Compass Box was able to rely on single malt from one of Scotland's most famous distilleries: Macallan.
The malty-sweet, oily whisky is complemented by fruity whisky , earthy components from Highland Park, a touch of coastal smoke from Caol Ila and heavy, leathery and dark fruity blend components from sherry casks.

Composed like this, the blended scotch rarity manages to recreate what it is named after: Vellichor, the unique atmosphere of antique shops.

Typically for Compass Box, this also fits Packaging to the contents.
Vellichor is delivered in gift packaging designed as a book.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Vellichor Compass Box tastes like

• Nose: Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages in the nose
• Palate: the palate is packed with lush malt notes, tropical fruits and sherry character, with a delicate but lingering peatiness
• Finish: long and soft finish - malt , the tropical fruits and the leather are present for a long time
