“The pinnacle of our collection, Crimson Casks delivers on the rich promise of sherry and red wine casks with intense chocolate, plum jam and redcurrant character.
Powerful, rich whiskies matured in American Oak sherry butts, precisely seasoned for a very particular wood interaction that creates a spiciness and generous intensity from the oloroso influence.
Chocolate fudge cake undercut with clove and cardamom, with hints of plum jam and redcurrant jelly, then rich cherry, toffee and oak, finished with raisin, honey and brown sugar.”
Compass Box is back, baby. After several long years of absence in the Australian market, and a total reimagining of what made them them champions of blended whisky, Compass Box has returned with a new core range, alongside regular limited bottlings that seek to test the limits of what a blended whisky can be.
Very much a response to the modern palate, the Crimson Casks release is unapologetically rich, practically oozing with sherry and red wine influence. What a dram
