For example, he created the first commercial blended grain Scotch whisky, named Hedonism, and Spice Tree, which fell foul of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) for its use of suspending staves of toasted French oak within conventional casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompass Box offers a ‘Signature Range,\u003cem\u003e’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewhich comprises The Spice Tree, The Peat Monster, Oak Cross, Asyla and Hedonism. Meanwhile, the company’s ‘Limited Range’ offers limited edition whiskies such as Hedonism Quindecimus and Flaming Heart. Compass Box’s third range is Great King Street – blended Scotch with 50% malt content, which also bears the company’s trademark transparency about component whiskies and maturation regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompass Box Whisky was established by John Glaser in 2000, and its first commercial release was the blended grain Hedonism, offered the same year. Peat Monster – originally just The Monster – was launched four years later, comprising heavily-peated Islay and medium-peated Highland malts, which went on to become the company’s best-seller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original version of The Spice Tree blended malt was marketed in 2005, but withdrawn the following year, being replaced by a variant with heavily-toasted cask heads instead of the staves disapproved of by the SWA. The Great King Street range of blended Scotch whiskies was inaugurated with Great King Street Artist’s Blend in 2011, followed by Glasgow Blend in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn April 2015, Bermuda-based Bacardi became a minority shareholder in Compass Box Whisky, having established a relationship with the company through a supply contract for component whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e46% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Compass Box","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791431594322,"sku":"CBOXCCBM","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/CompassBoxCrimsonCasksAmericanOakOlorosoButt_RefillSpanishRedWineCaskMaturedBlendedMaltScotchWhisky_2024_70cl.jpg?v=1771959877","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/compass-box-crimson-casks-american-oak-oloroso-butt-refill-spanish-red-wine-cask-matured-blended-malt-scotch-whisky-2024-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
