Compass Box is unique in the world of whisky. Founded in 2000, it is a small independent company specializing in the blending of whiskies bought from large producers. Compass Box has made this its speciality, becoming a master in its fields of blended malts, blended grains and blended whisky, with each category represented in its portfolio. It is also a company with a deep-rooted philosophy, elevating blending to a worthy, noble task, distancing itself from its industrial image and reasserting the value of its craft as a ‘whiskymaker'.

This Compass Box blend was bottled for the seventh edition of La Maison du Whisky’’s Artist range illustrated by Lino Di Vinci. Released in 2017, it also celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of Genoese importer and bottler Velier. It was the first blend to appear in the range, which is generally reserved for single casks from Scottish distilleries. A limited edition of 1,902 bottles.
