Compass Box Limited Edition - Art & Decadence

Oscar Wilde wrote that “we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities”. That was back in the late nineteenth century, an era that inspired Compass Box whisky, which references the Aesthetic Movement giving rise to the Decadent Movement, where more was always more and art was made for its own sake, as the reason it created this luxurious whisky. Which is simply because it could.
