Compass Box - Duality

Blended whisky is undergoing a transformation. Whiskymakers like Compass Box are shattering the category's image, elevating it with perfectionism and transparency to the quality level of single malt—and beyond. John Glaser and his team create textures and flavors that a single whisky often cannot achieve. They create their luxury blends from high-quality single malt and single grain whiskies from their own cask warehouse in Scotland.

With Duality, Compass Box looks beyond Scotland. This blended malt was created in collaboration with London's Bimber Distillery and revives the age-old Scottish whisky tradition of cask swapping: Compass Box combined Bimber's single malt, seasoned in Pedro Ximénez hogsheads, with an intensely smoky teaspooned single malt from Ardbeg. In exchange, Bimber received Glendullan single malt from sherry casks, which the Londoners combined with their peated whisky.

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