[MM-MALTS-L] Compass Box Whiskies?

[Kraaijeveld A.R.]

Fully agree with anything Peter said. John is a great guy who has a real passion for whisky. A spent a day with him in his 'kitchen' a few years ago, where he let me taste anything I wanted and where we talked about everything that makes him tick and create his whiskies. I really like his vattings and it is a crying shame that Spice Tree was forced off the market.

So I'd definitely recommend you going and if you do, make sure to say hi to John from me!


Cheers, Lex

Hi Brian
Greetings from Down Under
John is an interesting man and his vattings great. I spent an afternoon with him a couple of years ago and can assure you that he does know his stuff and a whisky food pairing at $110 is good value, but better with John in charge. If it helps he is from the USA, a former Diagio manager and you will follow his accent!
Peter Johnston

A local wine/food/spirits merchant has arranged for John Glaser to come and provide some examples of whisky and food pairings.

I've heard good things about Compass Box, but at USD 110 the event is a bit steep to attend without knowing more about their whiskies.

So, what do you fellow whisky lovers think of Asyla, Hedonism, Oak Cross and Peat Monster?

Regards,

Brian Gross
