Here is the story of this whisky as told on the label by Compass Box:
'We love forging new bonds and discovering the tastes of whisky tasters in countries where Compass Box whiskies are shared and enjoyed.
When the opportunity arose, we created a whisky for our long-time supporters (perhaps colleagues or friends) Duoklė Angelams in Vilnius, Lithuania. They told us that a rich, spicy malt whisky without peat smoke flavour should suit Lithuanian taste perfectly.
This distinctive whisky starts with our Highland Malt Blend, aged in special French oak casks. We added a portion of Oloroso-style sherry-cask-aged whisky and Linkwood distillery whisky aged in STR wine casks, which provide generous oak and black cherry flavours. An oily and creamy bourbon-cask-aged whisky finishes off this composition.
In its style, it is closely related to another limited-edition cousin, Spice Tre Extravaganza. Its flavour is firm and syrupy. Perfect for Baltic winter evenings.'
Founded in 2000, Compass Box is on a mission to make the world of Scotch whisky a more interesting place – exploring undiscovered territories beyond the map. From our Blending Room in Richmond, London, we continue to push the boundaries of what whisky can be, guided by flavour, not convention. Different to a distiller, more than a blender, we are Scotch Whiskymakers.
‘Whiskymaker’ is a word we invented – because what we do goes beyond tradition. We believe the most remarkable whiskies aren’t stumbled upon; they’re deliberately imagined. We masterfully blend with a balance of curiosity and precision, challenging assumptions at every step. Where others repeat, we reinvent – uncovering flavour experiences that surprise and delight.
Start your journey with our signature blend, Orchard House. Then, venture deeper into the flavour territories of Scotch with The Classics, Nectarosity, The Peat Monster, and Crimson Casks. Ready to go further? Our Limited Editions are where boundaries dissolve and new discoveries await. This is whisky beyond the map.
With our own stocks of maturing whiskies in Scotland and a small team of passionate whisky-lovers, we aim to delight everyone from curious newcomers to devoted aficionados. Because with more flavour, more character, and more imagination than any other spirit, Scotch whisky deserves to be explored.
