A Closer Look: Nectarosity – Compass Box Scotch Whisky News


Behind the most exquisite patisseries are test kitchens of invention. Places buzzing with energy where chefs obsess over every flake of fractured crust, every curl of custard cream. Part artistry, part alchemy, this is mastery at work. And when their experimentation creates a true harmony of flavour, it has to be shared. Because generosity drives this endeavour. If nectar is the food of the gods, and joy comes from celebrating with others, then we need a new word for that irresistible urge.

And that word is ‘Nectarosity’

 

Nectarosity contains casks that we’ve been experimenting with for the last seven years.

These casks are special American oak barrels that are deployed twice. First to impart sweet spice to grain spirit for one year, which finishes maturing in other casks; this becomes our parcel of grain whisky from The Girvan Distillery in the composition. Once ‘prepared’, the barrels age malt whisky from The Clynelish Distillery, bringing grilled apples, nutmeg and maple syrup to the party. We take these two characterful whiskies, blending them with select others to really dial up the juicy fruit and vibrant toffee notes.

Nectarosity generously combines the honeyed sweetness and soft texture of grain whisky with the big, bold flavours of malt whiskies, to create a perfectly balanced, high malt percentage blended Scotch.
