Compass Box Last Vatted Grain, 46%

Bottled as London’s Big Ben began to strike midnight on the day that the word ‘vatted’ was outlawed in Scotch whisky terminology, this is a mix of grains from different distilleries and does the campaign for more Scotch grain whisky no harm at all. Gossamer soft and smooth with a honeycomb heart and milk chocolate, vanilla, and the odd prod of spice, it’s a cushion of a whisky. Luxurious, indulgent, and well made. £125
