Compass Box is an innovative, artisanal Scotch whisky blending company founded in 2000 by John Glaser, an American former Diageo marketing director.

Their mission is to bring 21st-century creativity and innovation to the 19th-century art of whisky blending, creating contemporary whiskies that honor tradition while pushing boundaries. The company has gained a cult following among whisky enthusiasts for its innovative approach and consistent quality.
