Compass Box Experimental Grain Whisky

Compass Box’s new limited edition release is straightforward with its name: Experimental Grain Whisky. From the get-go, you know that what you are about to try is different, and the whisky makers at Compass Box pride themselves on it. Experimental Grain Whisky sources from whiskies made by The Loch Lomond Distillery, The Cameronbridge Distillery, The North British Distillery and its own Hedonism Blended Grain Whisky. The parcel of whisky from Loch Lomond distillery, is, in large part, what makes this Scotch so experimental. According to Compass Box website, it is “only a pot still away from being a single malt.” They mean that all the grain used for this whisky was malted barley — the required grain for Scotch single malt — but was distilled in a column , not a pot still. Only malted barley distilled in a pot still from a single distillery can be deemed a Scotch single malt.
