Compass Box The Spaniard Scotch Whisky

Compass Box is getting a rid of a few of their core items.....

Last call on.....we have about 15 bottles of each in stock now!
  • Compass Box Spaniard 
  • Compass Box Spice Tree
  • Compass Box Hedonism

(they will be introducing a few new items)







Compass Box The Spaniard Scotch Whisky...$67.99
Introducing our new malt whisky blend, showcasing whiskies aged in Spanish wine casks.  Inspired by an eponymously named bespoke whisky we recently created for a bar in New York City called The Spaniard, we decided to explore the sherried style further to create a new whisky for our permanent range.   The name is a nod to our founder’s chance encounter with a man in the South of Spain, where he was introduced to Sherry for the first time.

Bottled at 43%
Not chill filtered
Natural colour

In this, our first release, 48% of the whiskies have been aged in ex-Sherry casks and 25% in 
ex-Spanish red wine casks. You will find a whisky that is full, soft and sumptuous on the palate with flavours of citrus peel and pears poached in red wine and spices. It’s a whisky ideal for late evening sipping or stirring into a cocktail.


Compass Box Hedonism Scotch Whisky...$119.99
Elegant flavours of vanilla cream, toffee, coconut. Recommended as an aperitif, serve with a small amount of chilled water. Late in the evening, serve neat. Also makes a great whisky sour. Hedonism is unusual in the Scotch whisky world: a blended grain Scotch whisky. It is very rare to see 100% grain whisky bottlings, in Scotland. Going back 100 years, grain whisky brands were more common, but they were overtaken in popularity by the big brands of blended Scotch, which comprised both grain whisky and malt whisky. Today, most Scotch grain whisky gets blended into the big brand names, typically at young ages. For Hedonism, we search for old casks of Scotch grain whisky. And we only produce Hedonism once a year, when we find casks with the right flavour profile.


Compass Box Spice Tree Scotch Whisky...$67.99
Big, sweet aromas of clove, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is full, round and sweet, with the spice and vanilla complementing the core distillery characters and leaving a long finish. Its rich, bold flavours make it most suitable for after-dinner sipping, as an accompaniment to certain cheeses, and ideal in cocktails
