Compass Box Story of the Spaniard Blended Scotch Whisky is a rich, warm, and fruit-forward blended malt whisky inspired by John Glaser’s encounters with Spanish wine casks during his travels in Spain. This expression celebrates the influence of Sherry, Spanish red wine casks, and exotic oak, creating a whisky that is bold in flavor, layered with sweetness, and filled with Mediterranean charm.
The blend features malts matured in first-fill Sherry butts, Spanish red wine casks, and virgin French oak, producing deep color, complexity, and luxurious texture.
On the nose, it opens with dried figs, raisins, orange peel, warm spices, vanilla, and toasted oak, followed by hints of berry jam and cocoa.
On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied, and expressive: sherry sweetness, dates, plums, red berries, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, and dark chocolate, all supported by gentle oak spice.
The finish is long, warming, and fruity — with lingering notes of sherry, spice, caramel, and roasted nuts.
Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural color, Story of the Spaniard is a perfect choice for those who love sherried, fruity, dessert-like whiskies with a sophisticated profile.
It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, tiramisu, cheese boards, cigars, and evening sipping.
