Compass Box Travelling Circus Whisky

Compass Box The Travelling Circus is a blended Scotch whisky created as a Duty Free exclusive, designed to capture the grandeur and vibrancy of a night at the circus. Bottled at 49% ABV with natural colour and without chill-filtration, it brings together single malts from Aberlour, Talisker and Caol Ila with Port Dundas single grain and parcels of blended Scotch.

The largest component is Aberlour from a first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butt, joined by Port Dundas grain from refill sherry butts, Talisker from recharred American oak hogsheads and Caol Ila from a first-fill bourbon barrel. The nose offers dark fruit, incense smoke, polished oak and cocoa powder. On the palate there is silky sherry sweetness, dried fruit, warming spice and aromatic smoke, leading to a long, smoky and elegant finish with a rich, velvety fade.
