Compass Box key Limited Edition release of 2011
A very fine, very limited edition in homage to the Vatted Malt category which
from midnight on 22nd November 2011 will become illegal. This ancient term
will thereafter be replaced by Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.
Made from a marriage of fine, old single malt whiskies from Islay and
Speyside distilleries: 22% Glenallachie 1974 (36 yo) aged in first-fill sherry butt,
78% Caol Ila 1984 (26 years old) aged in American oak hogsheads.
Aristocratic, intense, dried fruits are underscored by a subtle, sweet
smokiness, and perfect maturity.

Each bottle will be personally signed by John Glaser

The Old Malt Casks
A favourite amongst whisky drinkers since it’s humble beginnings back in 1998 (when 50 single cask bottles were produced by Douglas Laing to commemorate their 50th anniversary).
Today, The Old Malt Cask regularly offers over a hundred superb Malts to the connoisseur or anyone else who likes a good malt!
The new additions to Edencroft’s range are below and they all scored brilliantly in Jim Murray’s 2012 Whisky Bible – an average of nearly 94!
