Lady Luck Compass Box VII Limited Release of 754 - bottled 2009 ----

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'.

Lady Luck is a blend of three casks, all American oak hogsheads: Caol Ila 1980 (#8165), Caol Ila 1984 (#5384), and Imperial 1995 (#100049). It was created in 2009 by John Glaser, who was inspired by a remarkable whisky he had tasted. One of his friends owned a cask of Islay whisky that had fallen below 40%. To bottle the whisky, it was blended with another cask of younger Islay whisky. A limited edition of 754 bottles.
