Compass Box - This is not a Festival Whisky - French Connections - 49%<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nCompass Box Whisky<\/strong> is a prestigious Scottish whisky production company, founded in 2000 by the visionary American John Glaser<\/strong>. After a career in the wine trade and a rewarding experience at the whisky giant Johnnie Walker, John Glaser decided to launch his own venture, crafting his first recipes in his kitchen. Today, more than twenty years later, Compass Box has established itself as a key player in premium artisanal whisky. The company holds rare stocks of whiskies matured in Scotland, has a specialized blending room for its unique blends, and a strategic office located in London. Compass Box favors sourcing high-quality oak, notably from the Vosges forests in France and Missouri woods in the United States. Each cask is selected with extreme care to guarantee exceptional blends. Once the blend is made, the whisky is returned to casks for additional maturation of 6 months to 3 years, to develop complex aromas and a unique character.<\/p>\nIn 2015, Compass Box caused a sensation by sparking a lively debate around its transparency policy. The company revolutionized the industry by exhaustively disclosing on its labels information about the originating distilleries, types of casks used, whisky ages, and precise proportions of the final blends. Under John Glaser's leadership, a major campaign for transparency in Scottish whisky<\/strong> was launched, encouraging all producers to adopt this full disclosure approach for the benefit of connoisseurs and informed enthusiasts.<\/p>\nThis is Not a Festival Whisky<\/strong> is a special edition designed for the team at La Maison du Whisky<\/strong>, the iconic organizer of Whisky Live Paris, unfortunately canceled due to health restrictions related to the Covid-19 crisis.
