Compass Box Scotch, a scotch maker based in the neighborhood of Chiswick in west London, has launched a new limited-edition whiskey by the name of 'Vellichor.'
This particular limited-edition whiskey uses a truly novel combination of Sherry-matured blended whiskies along with malt offerings from Macallan and Highland Park, along with a subtle dash of venerable whiskey sourced from the Caol Ila Distillery. The end result is a truly unique whiskey that comes in at an ABV of 44.6 and a price of $450. Only 3,426 bottles will be available around the globe from select retailers.
In the words of James Saxon, whiskymaker at Compass Box Scotch, Vellichor "starts with a word and an emotion: the experience of being in a second-hand bookshop and being enveloped by its aroma."
