AW: RE: [MM-MALTS-L] Compass Box Whiskies?

[Bernhard Schäfer]

If you like his stuff is a matter of your personal taste ( well I do) but it
is always good to meet someone with a different (and fresh) approach in/to
Whisky. And I agree with the other posters, John is a great charakter and
fun to meet.
So go there ;-)

I concur 100%.

 

John's whiskies are extremely interesting and John is a great character

>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!

>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!

>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?
