Embark on a mythic tasting adventure with the Compass Box Myths & Legends Set, a limited edition trio of single malts designed to challenge conventions and celebrate the artistry of blending. Each expression in the set—Myths & Legends I, II & III—demonstrates how innovative cask choices and creative blending can rewrite whisky storytelling. Though each bottling stands on its own, together they form a layered narrative of flavour evolution.
Tasting Notes
Myths & Legends I A delicate balance of malted sweetness and rounded complexity. Fragrant notes of ginger biscuits, peach blossom, and vanilla mingle with orchard fruit, malt, and cinnamon—with a finishing layer of cocoa and oak.
Myths & Legends II Building on the first expression, it blends several polar cask personalities to create a truer, fuller expression of distillery character—though tasting notes are limited in published sources, collectors value its nuanced cohesion.
Myths & Legends III Turns up the intrigue by blending in peated malt from island distilleries. The result blends tropical fruit and butterscotch sweetness of earlier editions with an enchanting, aromatic smoke that elevates complexity and depth.
Craft & Philosophy
Created by Compass Box—a visionary independent blender—this set explores the overlooked truth that masterful blending is essential not only in blended whiskies, but in uncovering the fuller character of single malts. Each bottle challenges myths about purity and distillery style, advocating expressive blending as a tool for richer whisky narratives.
Collector’s Note
Released as a cohesive three-bottle collection, the Myths & Legends Set is rare and highly prized. The set provides an immersive journey into Compass Box’s mindset and methodology—perfect for collectors, tasting adventures, or thoughtful gifts that tell a story of spirit evolution and innovation.
