A fruity limited-edition whisky from Compass Box, made in collaboration with Mannie Monaghan, winner of The Circle international bartenders competition of 2019. Inspired by its synaesthesia – the phenomenon of experiencing combined or joined sensations, such as hearing shapes or tasting colors. A combination of malt and grain whiskies, aged in various barrels, including sherry butts, refill hogsheads and refill puncheons. It offers aromas of pineapple and peach compote on the nose, with notes of vanilla, honey and raisins soaked in cognac throughout the palette. For Mannie, this whiskey tastes like coral.

The special whisky line, from our independent Compass Box bottlers, goes back to 2000. At that time, John Glaser believed that there were too many companies that similarly made and sold scotch whiskey. So, he created a different kind of company based on an old model, which is about mixing at home, but with a progressive approach and an unrelenting desire to create quality. Today, compass boxes possess a new way of producing blended scotch and malt whiskey. This is the creation of open-minded, original and different whiskies, something that starts from blending and aging, to the name and packaging of the spirits.
