Description

Some may call it sacrilege, but we thought the addition of one year old sacrificial spirit would be the perfect component to use in our limited edition blend to celebrate ten years of collaboration with our good friends at the package design company Stranger & Stranger.

In the 30 plus design projects weve worked on together, we typically provide a core idea and direction, but for this special project, we let Stranger & Stranger design what they liked. All I told them was we were working on a recipe incorporating some amazing one year old grain spirit we had used to season some experimental American oak barrels.

We had been calling this one year old sacrificial spirit because we didnt know what it would be like after a year in these crazy new barrels. Turned out, it was amazing, filled with intense wood spice and exotic shades of vanilla character.

Typical of the way we ordinarily work with Stranger & Stranger, a simple idea captured their imagination and inspired their work. Here, it was sacrificial spirit which they used as a springboard for the intricate and fascinating design of this limited edition.

We hope youll share and enjoy with friends and family this celebration of the ten year collaboration between Compass Box and Stranger & Stranger.
