The name is also a nod to the founder's chance encounter with a man in the south of Spain who introduced him to sherry; years later he rediscovered it through whiskies aged in former sherry casks, a style he has been drawn to ever since. The first batches used not just sherry-seasoned casks but Spanish red wine casks too, a nod to the similarities between whiskymaking and winemaking. It is released in batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect notes of citrus peel, red wine and spices, with a long finish of vanilla panna cotta, berries and cherries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe illustrated matador label makes it a beautiful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus peel, spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine, sherry, spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long: vanilla panna cotta, berries, cherries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compass Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended malt Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spanish wine casks incl. sherry-seasoned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural color, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for late-evening sipping on its own, with a large ice cube or a splash of water.
