Compass Box Artist Blend 43% 700ml | Creamy & Fruity Blended Scotch
Whisky-making as an "art." The ultimate creamy & fruity created by the intertwining of malt and grain.
"Compass Box Artist Blend" is a blended Scotch whisky from Compass Box, a company that creates new styles of whisky with unprecedented ideas. Formerly known as "Great King Street Artist Blend," this popular brand has been reborn as a 700ml bottle, making its re-debut. With a perfect balance of rich aroma from 55% malt whisky and creaminess from 45% grain whisky, it's a bottle that will satisfy a wide range of palates, from malt enthusiasts to cocktail fans.
Key Points: An Artistic Recipe with Extreme Transparency
Founder John Glaser, after a distinguished career as Global Marketing Director for Johnnie Walker, went independent in 2000. Now based in London, he views whisky making as an "art" and strives for the finest creations. The publicly disclosed recipe is remarkably transparent, meticulously blending high-quality spirits such as Cameronbridge Distillery first-fill bourbon casks (45%), Linkwood Distillery (total 27%), Clynelish Distillery (10%), and Balmenach Distillery (10%). Furthermore, the addition of custom French oak casks (8%) from a Highland malt blend creates unparalleled complexity.
Flavor and Aroma Characteristics
From the glass, sweet and floral aromas reminiscent of apple and vanilla cream waft up. Upon tasting, a creamy and fruity sweetness spreads, offering a very soft finish. The finish is gently enveloping, with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.
Recommended Ways to Enjoy
While enjoying the delicate sweetness of the whisky straight (neat) is excellent, it also performs wonderfully in the highball style recommended by Compass Box. Its fruity and creamy characteristics stand out, making it an excellent Scotch whisky for cocktail bases as well.
Awards and Recognition
Founder John Glaser has received numerous accolades, including "Innovator of the Year" from Whisky Magazine and "Pioneer of the Year" from Whisky Advocate, with his achievements highly recognized.
