Compass Box

In 2000, John Glaser believed there were too many companies making and selling Scotch whisky the same way. An American, transplanted to the UK and working for a large distiller, he wanted to do things differently in order to bring the joys of Scotch whisky to more people.

Glaser set up a different kind of Scotch whisky company, based on the long-lost model of the Scotch whisky blending house but with a forward-looking approach and an unrelenting desire to create quality. Today, helmed by Lead Whiskymaker James Saxon, Compass Box continues this pursuit utilizing carefully selected whisky stocks to create distinct blends that both commune with the past and speak to the future of the category.
