More from Scotch Whiskies Above R5,000
A limited release from boutique blenders, Compass Box, launched in 2022.

Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 44.6%.
Nose: Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages.
Palate: Stacked with sumptuous malty notes, tropical fruit and sherry character.
Finish: A delicate but persistent peatiness.
