{"product_id":"compass-box-nectarosity","title":"Compass Box Nectarosity","description":"\u003cp\u003eCompass Box Nectarosity originates from Scotland and was introduced in late 2024 as part of a major core portfolio relaunch by the acclaimed independent blending house. It was created by Lead Whiskymaker James Saxon, who drew inspiration from the vibrant, inventive energy of London’s contemporary patisserie and pop-up baking scene. Nectarosity was designed to stand alongside staples like \u003cem\u003eThe Peat Monster\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOrchard House\u003c\/em\u003e, anchoring the brand's new permanent \"Core Four\" lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue to the \"whisky meets patisserie\" concept, Nectarosity is a brilliantly engineered Blended Scotch with a high single malt content (around 65%). The structural core relies on a fascinating, dual-use cask process: virgin American oak barrels are first used to age grain spirit for a year to temper the wood, and are then reused to age malt whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Component Blend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built from 11 different parcels spanning 5 distilleries, combining grain whiskies from Girvan and Cameronbridge with single malts from Clynelish, Linkwood, and Balmenach.
