Ep 5 - Compass Box: The Peat Monster, not really a monster at all, but very tasty!

Compass Box - The year was 2000 when John Glaser started the Compass Box Whisky Company in his kitchen, actually. An American in the UK, he used to work for a large distiller before he thought, why not do Scotch Whisky differently and bring back the old model of the Scotch Whisky blending house. So, he committed himself to blending boutique Scotch Whiskies. Tasting notes Appearance / Color - Pale straw Nose / Aroma / Smell - Salted butter and smoky. Coastal aromas.
