After
visiting dozens of distilleries and refining his taste, John Glaser sat down in his home and began mixing whisky. Before
he knew it, he decided to begin marketing his blends by buying special casks from Scottish distilleries and selling them
under the brand name of
Compass Box Crafted Whiskies. Picking some of the
best aged grains, he has created whisky with outstanding profiles. The Compass Box line includes blended Scotch
in addition to various vatted malts. There are also limited edition whiskies such as Orangerie, the once a year orange
and spice-infused whisky
we mentioned back when it was
available in December. Try The Peat Monster. It is a vatted malt made with Caol Ila and Ardmore malts, 92 proof at $45.
