The big advantage of blended whiskey ? You are not limited to the character of one distillery, but can enjoy the best characteristics from different distilleries combined . Hardly anyone enables this at such a high level as Compass Box . John Glaser and team create textures and flavors that a single whiskey often cannot achieve. For their luxury blends, the “Whiskymakers” combine high-quality single malt and single grain whiskeys from their own barrel warehouse in Scotland .

For the limited edition Vellichor was able to rely on Compass Box for single malt from one of Scotland's most famous distilleries: Macallan . The malty-sweet, oily whiskey is complemented by fruity, earthy components from Highland Park, a touch of coastal smoke from Caol Ila and heavy, leathery and dark fruity blend components from Sherry Casks . Composed like this, it succeeds Blended Scotch rarity to recreate what it is named after: Vellichor, the unique atmosphere of antique shops. As is typical of Compass Box, the packaging also matches the contents. Vellichor is delivered in gift packaging designed as a book .
