Blended Scotch Whisky 'Experimental Grain Whisky - Limited Edition'
- Limited-release Blended Grain Scotch whisky from Compass Box, blended by lead whiskey maker James Saxon
- Built around the profile of a younger, uniquely herbaceous and smokey single grain whisky from The Loch Lamond that was distilled from 100% malted barley in a copper Coffey still
- 36.7% The North British Distillery single grain aged in re-charred American Oak
- 31% The Loch Lomond Distillery single grain aged in second-fill bourbon barrel
- 17.8% Compass Box Hedonism (blended grain aged in second-fill bourbon barrels)
- 14.5% The Cameronbridge Distillery single grain aged in re-charred American Oak hogshead
- On the nose, banana and toffee mingle with savory barbecue smoke and hints of raspberry & molasses. A soft, oily palate of almond and vanilla precedes an herbaceous finish of burnt pinecone.
- Non-chill filtered with no added coloring; 46% ABV
- Limited release of 6,142 bottles
A malt whisky blended with the intent to subvert expectations of the entire category of blended whisky, this expression was built around column-distilled malt, thus qualifying it as grain whiskey by Scotch whisky standards. A cornucopia of fruit and mossy forest are enveloped in savory, resinous smoke, offering a whisky for those rare downpours accompanied by bright sunshine and other paradoxical phenomena.
