Compass Box Myths & Legends I

Myths & Legends I highlights how blending furthers our understanding of distillery character. Two parcels of malt whisky from the same Northern Highland distillery tasted markedly different: the younger parcel was malty and citrusy, the older one much creamier with a ripe fruit character. Each parcel revealed only one facet of the distillery’s personality. By combining them, we have created a whisky full of fragrance with a more rounded complexity. The designation of “single malt” is almost incidental; to us, I is all about the blend.
