From The Producer
“Japanese whisky. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you've heard that it's pretty bloomin' marvellous. Maybe you're excited that we've only gone and bottled our first whisky from Japan! Our Japanese Blended Whisky #1 has been hotly anticipated by Boutique-y fans and Boutique-y team members alike, and we reckon it was well worth the wait.”

Compass Box The Circle No. 2
$229.99
The second edition of Compass Box's The Circle was created with bartender Mannie Monaghan and was inspired by the colour coral. Bottled at 46%, this Blended Scotch whisky is primarily composed of Glen Elgin, and Speyburn, along with Teaninich, Linkwood, Ardmore, and a parcel of Blended Scotch whisky. The whiskies components were matured in a mix of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks.
Producer Description
"It wasn’t until after Mannie Monaghan won our international bartender programme The Circle in 2019, and we began working on a whisky together, that we learned he is synaesthetic. Mannie wanted his whisky to evoke a particular colour – coral – and so began a unique whiskymaking project.
"Affecting roughly 4% of the population, those with synaesthesia* often experience a blending of their senses – for Mannie, aromas and flavours reveal a spectrum of colour. Not being synaesthetic ourselves, Mannie spent two lengthy sessions in the Blending Rooms, scouring sample boxes for whiskies that matched the warmth and powerful positivity of Living Coral.
"Weeks of tweaking led us to this combination of tropically fruity malt whiskies from the Glen Elgin and Speyburn distilleries, together with whiskies influenced by Oloroso Sherry casks. Single malt from the Ardmore Distillery lends a herbal Highland peat note.
"SYNAESTHESIA*: This incredible phenomenon means ‘joined or coupled sensation’. It involves hearing shapes, tasting days of the week, or smelling colours. Synaesthesia is as varied in its forms and intensities as the people who experience it; they are known as synaesthetes. "
