Compass Box is a Scotch whisky company founded in 2000 by American-born John Glaser. Its registered office sits in Edinburgh, at 115 George Street; the actual blending happens in a room in Richmond, on the outskirts of London. Driven by a passion for creativity and transparency, Glaser set out to reinterpret the traditional art of whisky blending by consciously combining whiskies sourced from different distilleries across Scotland. In doing so, he positioned Compass Box as a bold challenger to convention, carrying on a blending tradition that stretches back to the 1800s while giving it a thoroughly modern identity. Compass Box has built a highly respected portfolio of blended malts and blended Scotch whiskies, celebrated for their innovative character and meticulous craftsmanship. The brand is known for pushing the boundaries of blended Scotch, continually exploring new flavour profiles and approaches — from the smoky complexity of peated expressions to releases that highlight the 'secret sweetness' of grain whisky. Compass Box also holds the distinction of releasing the very first blended grain Scotch whisky and the first whisky to feature a woman on its label. Over 25 years, Compass Box has earned widespread acclaim for its commitment to creativity and transparency, becoming a trailblazer in the world of luxury blended whisky. The company has been featured in Forbes and praised by Whisky Magazine, cementing its reputation as one of the most forward-thinking independent bottlers in the Scotch whisky industry.
