Fortitude, a remarkable blend from Compass Box, is an exceptional example of innovative whisky craftsmanship. Bottled in 2021 as part of La Maison du Whisky's esteemed Artist series, this blended Scotch whisky showcases a harmonious combination of single grain, single malt, and blended whiskies from across Scotland.
