Compass Box Autumn Updates From The Blending Room – Scotch Whisky News
Introducing The Story of The Spaniard:
Our new malt whisky with its core components aged in Spanish wine casks
We plan to produce this malt whisky once or twice per year, depending on our ability to source the quality of Spanish wine casks we require. In this, our first release, 48% of the whiskies have been aged in ex-Sherry casks and 25% in ex-Spanish red wine casks. We may change the type of casks from year to year based on availability and experimentation, but Spanish casks – either Sherry wine casks or Sherry-style wine casks – will always play the key role.
The first bottling is now available in Europe and will soon be available in the US. Get in touch with us if you’re looking for a bottle and the team would be happy to point you in the right direction.

Meet Rosey Mitchell
This summer, we welcomed six top bartenders from around the world to our blending room in London for the global final of our first-ever bartender competition, The Circle.
The three-day final was designed to encourage the bartenders to cross boundaries with a series of blending, cocktail and design challenges.
Our winner – Rosey of Three Sheets bar in London – is now working with us on a limited edition blend which we’ll release in 2019. We’ll share the behind-the-scenes story of the collaboration in our emails over the coming months.
