The Compass Box "Amici ad Vitae" blended Scotch whisky is a special edition created for the 30th anniversary of Bresser & Timmer. The name "Amici ad Vitae" translates to "friends for life," reflecting the profound bond between the two companies. This whisky is a meticulous blend of malt and grain whiskies distilled in a significant year for B&T, achieving a harmonious balance among its diverse components. The result is a rich and velvety whisky, embodying flavors of tropical fruit and custard. A subtle hint of peat and spicy notes accompany a long, evolving finish.
The concept of friendship encompasses elements such as trust, equality, compassion, honesty, and independence. Compass Box endeavors to encapsulate these values in this exquisite bottling, adorned with a beautiful label that symbolizes the collaboration.
This whisky commemorates 30 years of friendship and business, an exceptional achievement and a fulfilling journey akin to a cherished friendship. Matured in a blend of bourbon, oloroso sherry, and custom French oak casks, this whisky offers a 48% ABV in a 700ml bottle.
It is worth noting that the whisky benefits from some time to breathe after opening. Initial pours may seem underwhelming, but after a few days of oxidation, the whisky reveals a lively and balanced character. Hints of smoke emerge towards the finish, with no sharp edges, indicating the maturity of its components.
