I had a chance to chat with Compass Box Whisky’s founder John Glaser, who is in the U.S. for WhiskyFest in New York.  During the course of our conversation we covered a variety of topics, including transparency in the whisky business, his company’s two latest releases (3 Year Old Deluxe & Spice Tree Extravaganza), and more.  You can hear the entire interview below.

If you’re curious about the ages of the component whiskies of their newest releases, contact them here.  Also, starting today, Compass Box will reveal the ages of their entire Signature range and Great King St. range via their website.

Expect my tasting notes for 3 Year Old Deluxe and Spice Tree Extravaganza later this week.  Both expressions launch today in the U.S.
