Independent Bottler Focus: Compass Box at Hard To Find Whisky – Scotch Whisky News

Compass Box have always believed in doing things a little differently. Founded by John Glazer in 2000, Compass Box source malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland, and combine them in innovative ways to create exciting and idiosyncratic Scotch blends. The character of these blends cannot be defined by an age statement, nor by the individual component whiskies. The art of the whisky maker is to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Known for pushing the boundaries of whisky making, Compass Box have at times courted controversy, and are admired by whisky enthusiasts the world over.

Also, while we’re here, we’d like to say thanks for the fantastic response to our fundraising campaign. There are still limited edition tops and totes available with all proceeds going to the hospitality industry, so if you haven’t already donated, we’d love your support: Kindness. Community.

Hard To Find Whisky Distillery Focus: Jura – Scotch Whisky News

The Isle of Jura distillery was founded in 1810 by Archibald Campbell. Originally, known as the Small Isles Distillery, it was renamed in 1831, and rebuilt in the early 1960’s on the original site. The name derives from the Norse for ‘deer island’, a reference to the herds of local deer that greatly outnumber the island’s tiny population of residents.

Jura single malt can offer power and complexity, but without the bold, heady smoke of whiskies their Hebridean neighbour, Islay. The whiskies are typically sweet, fruity and approachable, with a slightly coastal character. Since 2018, they have been imbued with a subtle smokiness, due to the inclusion of a small amount of peated whisky in each bottling.
