The Story

About Compass Box Magic Cask Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Stewarded by John Glaser, Compass Box Whisky Company has been pushing the boundaries of blended whisky since its inception in 2000. "Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of complexity by blending whisky," says Glaser, who was named "Innovator of the Year" four times by Whisky Magazine and "Pioneer of the Year" twice by Malt Advocate. Compass Box Magic Cask started with an experimental maturation in 2016, when they re-racked a robust one-year-old malt spirit into first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butts sourced from Bodega José y Miguel Martín (J&MM). After 3 years, a particular cask (#2) stood out from the rest. By that time, they had been sitting on a parcel of first-fill bourbon casks of single malt from the now-defunct Imperial Distillery for quite some time. When the younger malt from the oloroso-seasoned casks was blended with this whisky, magic happened. The final blend consists of 92% single malt from The Imperial Distillery and 8% sherry-seasoned malt from a distillery near the town of Aberlour. Bottled at 92 proof, it's a fruity, oaky, and rich whisky that was bottled without chill-filtration or added color.

About Compass Box

Since its inception in 2000, Compass Box Whisky Company has been stewarded by John Glaser, one of the most progressive and innovative whisky blenders of his generation. "Like a winemaker blending grape varieties, we can create layers of complexity by blending whisky," says Glaser, who was named "Innovator of the Year" four times by "Whisky Magazine" and "Pioneer of the Year" twice by "Malt Advocate". While Glaser initially began his career in the industry as a marketing agent, he quickly realized that by blending quality whiskies, he was able to create a product that was greater than the sum of its rare parts.

Compass Box Hedonism is a unique blend of grain Scotch whisky. Nearly a century ago, grain whiskies were common across Europe, but were overtaken in terms of popularity when the larger distilleries in Scotland began focusing on single malt whisky. "When good Scotch grain whisky is aged in good quality American oak casks, the results can be stunning," says Glaser.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Tasting Notes

The nose is fruity with marmalade, tea, vanilla, and dark fruit aromas. Look for toffee, apple, oak, spice, plum, and a touch of chocolate on the rich palate that leads to a sweet and gently spicy finish.
