Compass Box The Circle No. 2.
WHISKYMAKING MEETS SYNAESTHESIA*
The Circle is the Compass Box international bartender competition; it serves as a kind of symposium in which the bar world and whiskymakers can come together to share ideas. ‘Is it possible to make a whisky that evokes the colour of coral?’ was the idea Mannie Monaghan, 2019’s winner, posed.
FLAVOUR PROFILE (FOR NON-SYNAESTHETES)
We love the bright pineapple and stewed peach aromas that leap out of the glass. The flavour is of vanilla, honey and sultanas soaked in Cognac.
SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Mannie created this as an outdoor whisky to be enjoyed with friends, lounging on a patio or terrace as the sun sets.
