Compass Box Duality – The Blends Malt Whisky 

Blended whisky  is changing.”Whiskymakers” like Compass Box are doing away with the image of the category, raising it to the quality level of single malt – and beyond with perfectionism and transparency. John Glaser and team create textures and flavors that a single whisky often cannot achieve. They compose their luxury blends from high-quality single malt and single grain whiskies from their own Casks warehouse in Scotland.

With Duality Compass Box takes a look outside the Scottish box. The blended malt was created in cooperation with the Bimber Distillery from London and revives the ancient Scottish whisky tradition of cask changing: Single malt matured in Pedro Ximénez “seasoned” Hogsheads Bimber was combined by Compass Box with an intensely smoky “teaspooned” single malt from Ardbeg (teaspooned with Caol Ila). In exchange, Bimber received Glendullan single malt from sherry casks, which the Londoners combined with their peat whisky.

Peat, salted caramel, mango, raisins and honey: Duality celebrates the contrast between England and Scotland, peat and sherry, youth and age – andis aimed at everyone who loves whiskies with texture, density and complexity.
