Compass Box was founded in 2000 by John Glaser, a former Diageo marketing director. The company immediately began releasing exciting blended whiskies and vatted malts and grains that showcased Glaser’s superb palate and skill as a blender. The early bottlings - which included Eleuthera, Asyla and the remarkable Hedonism vatted grain whisky - were not only excellent whiskies but broke the mould of traditional whisky packaging, using distinctive tall bottles and eye-catching, modern design for the labels.
The success of Compass Box’s whiskies enabled the brand to survive and thrive despite some of their more imaginative innovations occasionally falling foul of the traditional whisky authorities, and in recent years Glaser has become an outspoken advocate of transparency within the industry. Today, Compass Box’s outstanding limited editions - including Flaming Heart, The General, Optimism, the Canto Casks and Last Vatted Malt - are highly sought after at auction.
