More questions
The Whisky B-SIDE Blended Malt by Compass Box is a refined blend originating from the famous Scottish distilleries, the result of a skillful assembly of selected single malts. This blended malt, without the addition of grain whisky, expresses a balanced aromatic character and an intriguing complexity, typical of the lands from which its components come. The careful selection of malts has allowed for a olfactory profile rich in fruity, spicy, and slightly smoky notes, which merge into a harmonious and enveloping picture.
The aging takes place in oak barrels that give delicate tannins and a velvety structure, providing the distillate with a long and pleasant persistence. On the palate, the B-SIDE opens softly with continuous nuances recalling honey, citrus, and light notes of vanilla, ideal for those seeking a whisky with a contemporary and versatile character. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, this blended malt is also suitable to accompany moments of meditative or convivial tasting.
Compass Box, known for its artisanal and innovative approach to whisky, offers with the B-SIDE a distillate able to tell the richness of the Scottish territory and the art of the highest blending.
A complex and never obvious pleasure, which stimulates the senses and celebrates the charm of blended malt in a modern and deeply evocative guise.
