Compass Box is a pioneering Scotch whisky company founded in 2000 by John Glaser, a former marketing director at Johnnie Walker. Based in Richmond, London, Compass Box is renowned for its innovative approach to whisky blending, often challenging traditional industry norms.

Philosophy and Approach
Compass Box identifies itself as “Whiskymakers,” a term they coined to describe their commitment to creativity and experimentation in whisky production. Unlike traditional distilleries, Compass Box sources high-quality single malts and grain whiskies from various distilleries across Scotland. They then blend these to create unique expressions, often employing unconventional maturation techniques, such as using new French oak staves, to enhance flavor profiles.
