Compass Box Chez Lion – 46%

For over 20 years, Compass Box has been doing away with the image of the blend category. The “whisky makers” rely on perfectionism and a level of transparency for which they have even taken on the Scotch Whisky Association. The result? Blends of the highest class.
For drinks of the highest class, however, Le Lion – Bar de Paris in Hamburg’s Rathausstrasse, run by bar icon Jörg Meyer, is the right place to go. Both creators of pleasure are now joining forces for a special edition limited to 1,710 bottles.
Compass Box Chez Lion was personally put together in London by Jörg Meyer. The blended Scotch whisky is made for mixing. For this purpose, “Head Whiskymaker” James Saxon has endowed it with elegance as well as sufficient intensity – for expressiveness in the cocktail.
Chez Lion was composed of ingredients from Linkwood, Cameronbridge and the popular The Spice Tree from Compass Box, which matured in a selection of sherry, bourbon and moscatel casks. Lush notes of nuts and fruits blend with creamy cocoa and oak spice.
