Compass Box Vellichor Blended Malt

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Scents Made From Stories. ‘Vellichor’ is a new word and refers to the aromatic atmosphere within second-hand bookshops. For this project, we have combined complex and impressively mature whiskies from renowned distilleries, as well as parcels of blends that have been aged for many years in ex-Sherry butts, to encapsulate this unique fragrance.”

TASTING: Hints of leather, polished furniture and the crackling dustiness of decades-old pages on the nose. The palate is stacked with sumptuous malty notes, tropical fruit and Sherry character, with a delicate but persistent peatiness."

TECHNICAL DETAILS: “Bottled at 44.6% ABV. Natural colour. Not chill-filtered. A limited edition of 3,246 bottles. January 2022.”

ABOUT US: "Founded in 2000, Compass Box is on a mission to make the world of Scotch whisky a more interesting place – exploring undiscovered territories beyond the map. From our Blending Room in Richmond, London, we continue to push the boundaries of what whisky can be, guided by flavour, not convention. Different to a distiller, more than a blender, we are Scotch Whiskymakers.

‘Whiskymaker’ is a word we invented – because what we do goes beyond tradition. We believe the most remarkable whiskies aren’t stumbled upon; they’re deliberately imagined. We masterfully blend with a balance of curiosity and precision, challenging assumptions at every step. Where others repeat, we reinvent – uncovering flavour experiences that surprise and delight.

Start your journey with our signature blend, Orchard House. Then, venture deeper into the flavour territories of Scotch with The Classics, Nectarosity, The Peat Monster, and Crimson Casks. Ready to go further? Our Limited Editions are where boundaries dissolve and new discoveries await. This is whisky beyond the map.

With our own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland and a small team of passionate whisky-lovers, we aim to delight everyone from curious newcomers to devoted aficionados. Because with more flavour, more character, and more imagination than any other spirit, Scotch whisky deserves to be explored."
