Portrait: What makes the Compass Box Malt Whisky Collection special

Compass Box was founded in 2000 by John Glaser. The idea of ​​creating a whisky according to the customer's taste is as simple as it is ingenious. With the Compass Box whiskeys are blends and vatted malts and grains!
The bottlings are all small batches, so-called “small batches”.
Compass Box buys self-selected Casks from various distilleries and combines whiskies in a way that is not known from any conventional blend or vatted.

The results are impressive, many critics and trade magazines praise Compass Box highly as the most innovative whiskey blender in Scotland.
The blend “Asyla” won gold at the “International Wine & Spirit Competition”!
