Description

Whiskey: Compass Box No Name Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whiskey

This right here is the peatiest whisky to date from the fantastic Compass Box – No Name. A massively smoky blended malt, packing more peat than their own Peat Monster expression! Massively interesting and hugely delicious.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 98.8 (48.9% ABV)

Origin: United Kingdom

Distillery: Compass Box Whisky Co.

A well-peated limited edition whisky from Compass Box, packaged in a gorgeous black-labelled bottle. No Name trumps the Peat Monster for sheer peatiness, its intensity and complexity unrivalled in its class. That said, there’s a few other elements to enjoy, including medicinal tones, tar and even some fruitiness. Sublime.

Compass Box No Name Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Tarry ropes and engine oil, with hints of stewed plum and a kick of citrus zest.

Palate: Pow! Loads and loads of earthy, woodsy smoke. Slightly Sherried notes underneath add a slightly balancing sweetness.

Finish: Brown sugar, cinnamon and continuing waves of smoke.

Distillery Information

Back in 2000, John Glaser believed there were too many companies making and selling Scotch whisky the same way. An American, transplanted to the UK and working for a large distiller, he wanted to do things differently to bring the joys of Scotch whisky to more people. So, he set up a different kind of Scotch whisky company, 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. He originally launched the business from his kitchen, but today, over a decade later, Compass Box has an office and Blending Room in London, its own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland, and just over a dozen employees. In an industry that has steadfastly remained committed to ‘the way we’ve always done things’, at Compass Box we focus relentlessly on creativity, process innovations, and exploring the many ways we all can enjoy the pleasures of Scotch whisky. With more spectrum of flavour and style than any other spirit, we believe Scotch whisky is one of the world’s great drinks. We’re here to help ensure it stays that way for generations to come.
