Compass Box The Double Single Blended Scotch Whisky
Compass Box The Double Single Blended Scotch Whisky
Compass Box The Double Single Blended Scotch Whisky is the third edition of Compass Box’s two-part blend, bottled in March 2017 at 92 proof, 5,838 bottles. Duncan Elphick and Tatsuya Minagawa of The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie asked John Glaser to prove a Scotch blend could be one single malt and one single grain. This edition is 72% Glen Elgin from re-charred ex-bourbon hogsheads and 28% Girvan grain from re-charred ex-bourbon barrels. Re-charring those casks is why orchard fruit arrives with toasted vanilla and toffee instead of a pale refill taste. Natural colour, not chill-filtered.
Vanilla frosting, cream, and honey lead into silky butterscotch, dried banana, apple, and pear. Cinnamon and clove sit on an oily, medium-full body. The Girvan gives cream; the Glen Elgin gives fruit and malt. The finish holds vanilla, raisin, and a little spice.
