Description
When the king of the forest emerges from the trees, his oak crown remains untouched. This crown is bestowed upon him in honour of the wood’s transformative influence on the realm of taste and the art of metamorphosis it brings to the mixing table. Its crimson note is masterful and powerful, balanced by a benevolent generosity that is inviting: “What is mine is yours – enjoy.” This is an invitation to give it the honour it deserves.
The powerful, rich whiskies of the Compass Box Crimson Casks mature in American oak sherry casks, perfectly attuned to the interplay with the wood. The Oloroso influence gives them a spicy and generous intensity that enriches the flavour experience and leads to a special pleasure.
