 | | | Lady Luck fra Compass Box

Compass Box Whisky kommer nu med en limited udgave af en vatted malt.
This is a malt whisky inspired by what we used to refer to as the “lucky blend”—a beautiful whisky made of both very old and rather young Islay malt whisky, released by a well-known independent bottler many years ago. Lady Luck is a one-off, never-to-be-repeated variation on this theme.
Earlier this year we came across some beautiful casks of 25 and 29 year-old malt whisky distilled at the Caol Ila distillery on Islay. Inspired by our memory of the “lucky blend” we set to work experimenting, and eventually found that combining the old Islay malts with some gorgeous 14 year-old Imperial single malt created something very special: the Imperial brought an ethereal fruit character and structure to the older whiskies and made the sum much greater than the parts.
This, of course, makes this a “vatted malt” as it is a combination of whiskies from two single malt distilleries. May it be yet another humble lesson that all that is good in the world of whisky need not be single.
We call it Lady Luck. A one-off and one (we believe) for the ages.
Notes:
Deeply smoky, with an ethereal fruity character in the background. Extremely complex on the palate. Structured, balanced and very, very long on the palate.
Bottled at 46% alc.
Pris: £125
