The Compass Box Magic Cask Blended Malt Scotch Whisky CB Limited Edition 46% 700ml is a captivating masterpiece released in 2020. This limited edition blend, born from a meticulous maturation experiment initiated in 2016, boasts a legacy of both innovation and tradition. The whisky is composed of 92% long-closed Imperial Distillery whisky, matured in first fill bourbon barrels, and 8% single malt from a distillery near Aberlour, matured in a first fill oloroso sherry butt. The unique blend was bottled in March 2020, with only 5538 bottles available, making it a rare and cherished find for whisky enthusiasts. The Compass Box Magic Cask has been matured in oloroso sherry-seasoned oak, resulting in an exquisite aroma of marmalade, chai tea spices, and plum. The palate reveals complex notes of ripe golden apples, oak spice, toffee, and cocoa powder, leaving a rich and buttery finish with a hint of cinnamon and spice. Founded by John Glaser in 2000, Compass Box is a renowned blending company that has consistently delivered remarkable whiskys, including popular expressions like The Peat Monster, Asyla, and Hedonism.

The Compass Box Magic Cask has garnered mixed reviews. Many praised its alluring nose with floral, fruity, and spicy notes but found the taste and finish somewhat lacking in complexity. The blend of creamy Imperial and heavily sherried young malt received appreciation for its unique combination, though some felt it did not justify the price point. While the Magic Cask offers a delightful aromatic experience and an interesting flavor profile, it may not be the most compelling choice for seasoned whisky lovers. However, it's recommended for beginners or those looking to explore different nuances in whisky blending.
