Compass Box: A 10th Anniversary Retrospective Tasting with John Glaser
Location: The Lounge
Price: $85.00
Date: Tue, Oct 12th, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
To celebrate Compass Box’s 10th birthday, Founder and Whiskymaker John Glaser will host an exclusive retrospective Compass Box tasting in our Lounge. Some of Compass Box’s “greatest hits” will be pulled from the archive, including their very first bottling of ELEUTHERA (which Whisky Bible author Jim Murray calls “quite simply, one of the most magnificent vatted malts of all time…”), their first bottling of HEDONISM, the original SPICE TREE (deemed “illegal” by the Scotch Whisky Association and now fetching over £200 per bottle), the DOUBLE SINGLE and many more. He’ll also include their most recent releases including the rare, $165 per bottle LADY LUCK, of which only 700 bottles were made. Glaser will share stories about where Compass Box has been, as well as charting where they’re headed in the future.
