One of the 20th Aniversary releases Compass Box is putting out in 2020. The name Felicitas is a reflexion of the happy state in which the Compass Box team find themselves, marking this significant milestone. This Blended Grain Scotch Whisky is built around a parcel of Port Dundas from 2001 which was loaded with vanilla and orchard fruits. It was blended with North British whisky distilled in the 1990s. Bottled at 53%.

Producer Tasting Note: "Creamy coconut intertwines with notes of caramel, vanilla and almond. Apple and greengage add a delicious weight with a soft finish packed with creamy toffee."

Producer Description

"Hedonism Felicitas pays tribute to the whisky that launched our business 20 years ago. ‘Felicitas’, meaning a particularly productive or happy state, seemed apt when reflecting on such a milestone. This latest special Limited Edition is intended to convey the good fortune and happiness we feel, having met and worked with so many remarkable people during our first two decades. As a celebration of this important anniversary, this whisky is for them.

'The largest single component was distilled in 2001 at the Port Dundas Distillery and is full of wood spice, toffee and honey. A third of the recipe was made in the 1980s at the Strathclyde Distillery, providing vanilla cream and orchard fruit notes. Barrels filled with spirit from the North British Distillery in the 1990s complete the recipe and lend passion fruit and cardamom notes. Hedonism Felicitas is at once vibrant and stately: the higher bottling strength concentrates its luscious depths without any loss of the disarming gentleness for which aged grain whisky is rightly praised."
