The Circle No.1

A vibrant Limited Edition co-created with Rosey Mitchell, the 2018 winner of The Circle, our global programme designed to inspire bartenders. After impressing us with her skills and ideas throughout The Circle challenges, Rosey’s prize was to create a blend with Compass Box founder John Glaser and whiskymaker Jill Boyd. Rosey wanted to make an approachable whisky to be shared with friends, something for the daytime, a whisky with brightness. She called it “sunshine in a glass.” The Circle is based around a parcel of fruity and creamy single malt from the Tamdhu Distillery in Speyside. This is supported by malt whisky from the Clynelish Distillery. A touch of peated malt whisky from an Orkney distillery and a small proportion of a French oak-finished blended malt whisky complete the recipe.

Bursting with apple, vanilla and malty notes. A very delicate hint of smokiness is noticeable on the finish. 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast "This blended Scotch is a collaboration with London bartender Rosey Mitchell from Three Sheets, who sought to make an approachable “sunshine whisky.” It has a golden hue and bold fresh apple and honey scent. The palate is light, fresh and lively, a core of custard and vanilla cookie is accented with lemon peel and ginger. Sip or mix this crowd-pleaser.”

A whisky that calls for sunshine, fresh air and good friends.
