Compass Box Art & Decadence whisky is a limited edition inspired by the decadent movement of the 19th century: an era of abundance and pleasure, between Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsely, beauty and peacocks. This blend is produced from malt whisky from the Balmenach distillery, which has been matured separately for almost a year in three different wine casks: Madeira, Sauternes and Marsala. The other components of the blend are a whisky from Linkwood aged in ex-Sherry Palo Cortado casks, a Glen Moray whisky aged in ex-Sherry Oloroso casks and a grain whisky from Port Dundas, which is no longer in business.
Compass Box Art & Decadence whisky is rich and aromatic on the nose, with hints of red apples, wood and Sauternes evolving into liquorice, banana and cream. On the palate, dried fruit notes prevail: sultanas, apricot, apple and vanilla, with nuances of dark chocolate and oak. The finish is persistent.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
