Compass Box Asyla De-Luxe Blend 40%

Notes - This is a blend of Scotch grain whisky and malt whisky (50/50%). Sweet, delicate and very smooth on the palate, with flavours of vanilla-cream, cereals, and sweet oakiness. The Lead Distilleries are - for the Malt whiskies: Cragganmore, Linkwood and Glen Elgin, and the Grain whiskies are Cambus and Cameron Bridge. Aging is in 100% first-fill Bourbon oak barrels. “Blended Scotch whiskies (that is, blends of grain whisky and malt whisky) are terribly misunderstood. Ours shows you why the 19th century whisky blenders started combining these two types of whisky to begin with: to create delicious, gulpable, elegant, lighter style whiskies for everyday drinking. The reason ours wins so many awards is that we do it right: blending soft and fruity malt whiskies on a bed of rich and sweet grain whiskies. It's really the quality of our grain whiskies that makes ASYLA so special. There is no other blended Scotch whisky that uses grain whiskies of this quality. All whiskies from top notch American oak casks. Delicious. If you love whisky, this should be your house whisky.” John Glaser, Founder and Whisky Blender, Compass Box Whiskies. Gold Medal for blended whisky at the 2003 International Wine & Spirit Festival.
