Whisky – Compass Box
Compass Box was founded by John Glaser, while working at a large UK distiller in 2000, he came to the conclusion that there was so much that hadn’t yet been explored in the world of Scotch Whisky. He started Compass Box in his kitchen, where it grew over the years and now he has two dedicated Blending Rooms in London.
You can also find on their website a collection of videos of the Founder & Whiskymaker John Glaser, where he explores surprising truths and misconceptions about Scotch whisky, teaching you a few things about Whisky and the way to enjoy it, it’s called the Whisky School.
