Whiskies from 'Compass Box'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Compass Box.
  • Compass Box Asyla

  • Plenty of attack, but straightforward rather than complex. Suggested as a base for cocktails. I'll work on that...
  • Compass Box Asyla

  • A refreshing dram. Straightforward, clean. No complexity but it does not boast sophistication. Simplicity and natural are also great qualities.
  • Compass Box Asyla

  • Compass Box Eleuthera

  • Hold your glass to your ear and listen to water lapping against the tarred boat hull.
  • Compass Box Flaming Heart

  • Worth a try but not the most subtle or refined of the range.
  • Compass Box Hedonism

  • Someone knows what they are doing. Who would have thought grain whisky could taste so good?
  • Compass Box Hedonism

  • Compass Box knows how to stay on course. Its whiskies are well-judged and consistent.
  • Compass Box Hedonism

  • Remarkably flavoursome and enjoyable for a blend of grain whiskies.
  • Compass Box Oak Cross

  • Perky, smooth yet firm and spicy. Clever stuff and hugely drinkable.
  • Compass Box Orangerie

  • it is not a whisky, so it cannot be scored as one. In character, I would regard it as an aperitif liqueur, rather than an-after dinner drink. In a category of its own, it secures a high score.
  • Compass Box The Peat Monster

  • A monster? As compared to earlier creations from the same house, but don't expect mass hysteria on Park Avenue.
  • Compass Box The Peat Monster

  • Compass Box The Peat Monster

  • A warm, clean and charming whisky. The Islay influence is there but gently flirting with a mainland fellow. An accomplished character.
