Compass Box Double Single was supposedly the ‘world’s simplest’ blended Scotch. There are just two elements: 72% Glen Elgin single malt (19 years old) matured in re-charred ex-bourbon hogsheads and 28% Girvan single grain whisky (slightly older) from re-charred bourbon barrels.

This is the third release of Double Single since the first version came out in 2003. It was the NAS blend of 2018 for Jim Murray.

Nose: practically a single malt nose, with plenty of bright fruits. Green apples, unripe pears, green banana and hints...
