Description

The Compass Box 3 Year Old Deluxe is a blended malt Scotch whisky, a 'cheeky' limited edition release that highlights the minimum age statement rule in Scotch whisky. While named for its 3-year-old component (0.4% Clynelish from a first-fill bourbon barrel), the blend predominantly consists of much older whiskies: 90% 24-year-old Clynelish from refill hogsheads and 9.6% 20-year-old Talisker from first-fill sherry butts. It is bottled at 49.2% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, offering a complex profile with balanced smoke.
