Three Year Old Deluxe 3 years Compass Box One of 3282 - bottled 2016 Limited Edition

The wine

Compass Box Three Year Old takes a dig at British and European rules that allow only the age of the youngest whisky in the blend to be mentioned on the label. In this case, only 1% of the blend was aged for three years, with the rest made up of much older malts from Clynelish and Talisker. The whisky was matured in first-fill American oak casks. A limited edition of 3,282 bottles.
