Jeroen Koetsier

The General is unusual as far as how expressions are made at Compass Box. Usually, and as we’ve seen in previous Compass Box reviews, John Glaser or his other whisky makers select single malts of different profiles and assemble them themselves. Here, Glaser bought casks of whiskies already blended at a young age and left to marry in those casks for a very long time. 
We have here a 33-year-old blended whisky, released in 2013 (L 24.10.13) The blends used to make The General contained whiskies matured in both sherry and American oak casks. It is made at 66% with a potentially 40-year-old parcel of blended malt whisky (designated “Glen Calder”, which is not the name of a distillery), and 34% with a 33-year-old parcel of blended Scotch whisky.

The final result gave 1,698 bottles at 53.4%, bottled without colouring nor chill filtration. It’s unfortunately long gone and "ridiculously rare". This is bottle n° 571. And for the happy few, who met him one day, the General is considered as an exceptional piece in the Whisky and in the Compass Box History ! For old whiskies lovers or collectors...
