Description
The Compass Box Chez Lion Bespoke Release is a special bottling from the Compass Box Distillery, which specialises in innovative and masterful blends. This blended Scotch whisky was created especially for the exclusive Chez Lion Club and impresses with its complex and nuanced character. With an alcohol content of 46% vol., this whisky offers a harmonious balance between sweet, fruity and spicy notes, created by the masterful selection of casks and distillates.
Compass Box is known for its experimental approach to whisky making, and this Bespoke Release also demonstrates the company’s skill in combining different single malts and grain whiskies into a unique blend. The Chez Lion whisky is matured in a mixture of ex-bourbon, sherry and new oak casks, which gives it a multi-layered variety of flavours.

The Compass Box Chez Lion Bespoke Release is ideal for pure enjoyment to fully experience the complex flavours. It can also be served with a drop of water to further emphasise the fruitiness and spiciness.

It harmonises particularly well with mature cheese, dark chocolate or grilled meat, bringing out its rich flavours even more intensely.
