The Compass Box Whisky Company, a boutique Scotch whisky maker and blending company, was founded in 2000 by John Glaser, who previously served as the marketing director for Johnnie Walker. An American residing in London, Glaser sought to bring the excitement and joy of Scotch whisky to a broader audience in innovative ways. Initially starting from his kitchen, Compass Box has grown to encompass two dedicated Blending Rooms in London. The company is celebrated for its innovative and sometimes boundary-pushing methods, which have resulted in remarkable whiskies. The Double Single 3rd Edition CB Bourbon Casks, bottled in 2017, is a testament to Compass Box's philosophy. Unlike traditional blends that use numerous component whiskies, this edition uniquely combines just two – a single malt whisky from the Glen Elgin distillery and a single grain whisky from the Girvan distillery. This limited release, with only 5,838 bottles, captures the essence of what makes Compass Box a standout in the world of whisky.
The Double Single is unique because it uses only two component whiskies, a single malt and a single grain, rather than the traditional method of blending many whiskies.
This edition features a single malt whisky from the Glen Elgin distillery and a single grain whisky from the Girvan distillery.
There were only 5,838 bottles of The Double Single 3rd Edition CB Bourbon Casks released.

The Double Single 3rd Edition CB Bourbon Casks delivers a complex and flavorful profile, characterized by fruity and spicy notes, with a touch of sweetness and a lingering, slightly spicy finish. The interplay of apple and vanilla is complemented by a rich pie crust and caramel essence, all wrapped up with a dry finish hinting at oak and leather.
The Double Single 3rd Edition from Compass Box is an exceptional example of whisky innovation. The decision to blend only a single malt and a single grain whisky results in a beautifully balanced and nuanced beverage. With its delightful aroma, rich palate, and lingering finish, this whisky offers a unique and rewarding experience for any whisky enthusiast.
