The Spaniard is a Compass Box blended malt from 2018, inspired by John Glaser's travels through Spain. It is built mainly on malts matured in first-fill sherry casks, both PX and Oloroso, with further malts from red wine and bourbon casks. Deanston, Glen Elgin, Teaninich and other Highland distilleries are part of the blend. The nose offers raisins, figs, orange peel, red wine, soft spice and honey. The palate is rich and fruity, with sherry sweetness, red berries, chocolate, vanilla, peach and warm oak. The finish is medium to long, softly spicy and sweet.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
