Compass Box, an independent bottler label, recently expanded its portfolio with the launch of a new limited edition blended malt Scotch whisky, called Magic Cask. The new spirit features notes of marmalade with a delicious chai tea spice aroma. The delicious whisky boasts hints of toffee and cocoa powder for a pallette described as "ripe golden dessert apples."
Compass Box founder and whisky maker John Glaser commented on the new launch, stating: “Sometimes just one cask in a blend of many can provide the touch of magic that allows the whole arrangement to sing. We first took advantage of this phenomenon in 2006 when an experimental whisky, finished in an ex-Madeira barrique, led to the limited edition bottling we called Magic Cask. We’re delighted to be able to share with you again the magical influence one exceptional cask – a Sherry-seasoned cask in this case – can have on a recipe.”
