Compass Box Three Year Old Deluxe Blended Scotch Whisky 3 Year Old
Out of stock
A great example of how age on the label can be very misleading as only 0.4% of the liquid here is 3 years old (which is Clynelish aged in 1st fill American oak) the rest of this superb blend and two finger salute to the powers that be that decide the laws of Scottish whisky labeling is made up of very old Clynelish (90.3% and aged in refill hogsheads) and Talisker (9.3% aged in 1st fill sherry butts)
Only 3282 bottles produced, natural colour, non chill filtered and bottled at 49.2% ABV.
Greater than the sum of its age on the label, some people really did not get the concept of this and complained, ££££ for a 3 year old, well do we know the age of Johnnie Walker blue label? and people quite happily pay the same kind of money for that and this Compass Box release blows the mass produced blue label (compared to this small batch) out of the water.
