This Is Not A Blend -Clynelish- Single Malt Scotch Whisky [La Maison Du Whisky / Compass Box] Matured in 1st Fill Bourbon Casks and finished for 8 weeks in Ex-Bowmore Casks - Bottled 2025 - 1278 btl. - 50.0% abv.
After the Myths & Legends I and II releases, dedicated respectively to Balblair and Glen Elgin, the London-based house Compass Box created a third single malt, this time honoring the Clynelish distillery.
This edition, playfully named “This is not a Blend,” is the result of marrying seven first-fill bourbon barrels distilled in 2015, then finished for eight weeks in ex-Bowmore 2002 casks.
Bathed in a lush, maritime atmosphere subtly marked by peaty and licorice notes, its aromatic and flavor profile unfolds throughout the tasting with pastoral freshness and a remarkably airy elegance.
