REGION: Scotland

Compass Box began in 2000 with a different approach to Scotch whisky, intent on reaching a wider audience, and is 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 whiskies from carefully selected stocks.

Launched in 2022 by Elixir Distillers, this independently bottled label sources distillates from one of Scotland’s most beguiling regions. Master Blender Oliver Chilton finesses cask type and ABV to craft core bottlings and limited releases that celebrate the full spectrum of Islay’s character.
