Compass Box Vellichor

Compass Box Vellichor is a blend of 12.1% Macallan in first fill bourbon, 38.9% Highland Park in recharred hogshead, 15.6% blended Scotch parcel in refill sherry, 29.3% blended malt parcel in refill sherry, and 4.1% Caol Ila in refill hogshead. It is no age statement, bottled at 44.6%, and sells for around $400-500. The word “vellichor” is a noun that describes the nostalgia that book nerds feel when sniffing the air of an old, used bookstore. I have no fetish for old books, but I guess I am a nerd for old Scotch whiskies and this leather, dust, and wood profile is one of my favorite profiles.
