Compass Box The Circle No 2

A fruity limited-edition blended whisky from Compass Box that is made in collaboration with the 2019 The Circle international bartender competition winner Mannie Monaghan and inspired by his synaesthesia – the phenomenon of experiencing joined or coupled sensations, for example hearing shapes or tasting colours. A combination of malt and grain whiskies matured in a variety of casks, including sherry butts, refill hogsheads and refill puncheons, it offers aromas of pineapple and stewed peaches on the nose, complemented by notes of vanilla, honey and Cognac-soaked sultanas throughout the palate. For Mannie, this whisky tastes of the colour coral.
