90/100 - The Distiller Score

SILVER OUTSTANDING - Scotch Whisy Deluxe Blend in International Whisky Competition 2017

50% grain whisky from Cameronbridge matured in first-fill American standard barrel, 5% Glen Elgin single malt aged in refill hogshead, 23% Teaninich single malt aged in first-fill American standard barrel, 22% Linkwood single malt aged in first-fill American standard barrel. ASYLA is the plural of asylum – a word rich in ambiguity, suggesting that delicate balance between madhouse and sanctuary, an idea that Compass Box has always felt well suited to a whisky style such as this. This is a whisky that will gently enliven the senses. It is at once delicate, comforting and luminous.

Nose - Banana, honey, malt, caramel, Cheerios, fruit and a touch of coconut and waxy bubblegum.

Palate - Banana, malt, honey, toffee, dried fruit, vanilla and a bit of spice, wax and coconut.

Finish - Medium. Malt, caramel, grain, vanilla, wax and dried fruit.

Compass Box is a producer, bottler and marketer of a range of blended Scotch whiskies. The company is headquartered in Chiswick. Compass Box Whisky was founded in 2000 by American entrepreneur John Glaser, a former marketing director at Johnnie Walker.
