Compass Box Art & Decadence Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Oscar Wilde wrote that “we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities”. The age in question was the late nineteenth century, when the Aesthetic Movement gave rise to the Decadent Movement, where more was always more. Art was made for the sake of art; there were no ulterior motives. Similarly, a whisky like Art & Decadence may not be strictly a necessity – and that is the whole, glorious point.
Tasting Notes:
Rich and aromatic on the nose with red apples, waxed wood and wine notes. Creamy, with a liquorice aroma. Banana, toffee and custard blended with Sauternes. On the palate, notes of dried fruit – golden raisin, apricot, apple and plenty of vanilla. Lingering flavours of dark chocolate and fragrant oak.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery hints and a velvety honey glow, like sunset over aged oak.
Nose
Rich and aromatic on the nose, red apples entwine with waxed wood and wine notes. A creamy veil carries liquorice, while banana, toffee and custard mingle with Sauternes sweetness, hinting at decadence and depth to come.
Palate
Creamy and luxurious on the palate, dried fruits—golden raisin, apricot and apple—are interwoven with generous vanilla. The finish lingers with dark chocolate and fragrant oak, a refined, decadent echo that leaves a soft, lasting warmth.
Finish
A long, decadent finish of dark chocolate and fragrant oak, fading to a warm, velvety glow that lingers on the palate.
