The General Compass Box One of 1698 - bottled 2013 Limited Release
The wine
Compass Box The General is a blend of two casks containing old blends blended in their youth and and then matured for a long period of time, one for 33 years. The whiskies in the blends were matured in bourbon and sherry casks. A limited edition of 1,698 bottles released in 2013.
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'.
