Joe writes;

This Thursday John Glaser, the founder and whisky-maker for Compass Box will be here to taste us through his line including some highly sought-after, and some highly anticipated bottlings . The tasting will also celebrate the 10th. Anniversary of this boutique Whisky House.

In that time John has come a long way, has shown us some spectacular bottlings and will continue to do so for many years to come.

We have secured the last of two very very limited bottlings for the tasting including The Peat Monster Reserve , a 1.75 liter bottling (more than two regular size bottles, so it will last longer). You can order them in advance and request that John sign them for you. Sale will last until the following Thursday, October 14th.
