Compass Box Crimson Casks Scotch Blended Whisky 700ml

Compass Box Crimson Casks is part of the core range from independent Scotch whisky maker Compass Box. Founded in 2000 by John Glaser, the brand is renowned for its innovative blending philosophy and transparency, emphasising disclosed whisky composition and carefully selected casks. Crimson Casks with natural colour and no chill-filtration, showcasing the rich influence of sherry and red wine casks.

The whisky offers layered aromas: chocolate fudge, clove, and cardamom in the nose, followed by plum jam, redcurrant jelly, cherry, and toffee notes. The mid-palate is complemented by oak character, while the finish presents raisin, honey, and brown sugar sweetness. It is full-bodied, smooth, and balanced between spice and fruit.

Crimson Casks appeals to enthusiasts who enjoy rich sherry-influenced and complex whiskies, and is also suitable for more advanced tasting experiences. It can be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, and pairs well with desserts such as dark chocolate cake or brownies, mature cheeses, nuts, or even vanilla ice cream and crème brûlée, enhancing its layered flavours.
