Compass Box “The One I Love” – 48,9%

The great advantage of blended whisky? You are not limited to the character of one distillery, but can enjoy the best characteristics from different distilleries combined. Hardly anyone makes this possible at such a high level as Compass Box. John Glaser and team create textures and flavours that a single whisky often cannot achieve. For their luxury blends, the “whiskymakers” combine high-quality single malt and single grain whiskies from their own cask warehouse in Scotland.
