Product details
It’s the year 2000. Enter John Glaser (once labelled the ‘enfant terrible of the Scotch whisky world’ by legendary beer and whisky writer Michael Jackson) and his blending house Compass Box, with the modest ambition of challenging conventions and redefining whisky enjoyment. Their first release was a grain whisky, Hedonism. A curveball that got people talking (and drinking) in new ways. They’ve been vital and inspirational ever since, championing transparency in whiskymaking (and occasionally getting into trouble for it!).
That’s why we can tell you Nectarosity is made up of 34.4% Linkwood (22.6% first-fill Palo Cortado sherry cask + 11.8% refill sherry puncheon), 22.8% Clynelish (10.7% second-fill fresh oak + 12.1% first-fill bourbon), and 7.1% Balmenach (first-fill bourbon) malts, plus 15.9% Girvan, and 19.8% Cameronbridge grains.
