Compass Box This Is Not A Luxury Whisky Bottled 2015 70cl / 53.1%

A bottle of Compass Box's 2015 release, This Is Not A Luxury Whisky, a blended whisky made with a large proportion of sherry cask matured Glen Ord.

The name is a reference to Rene Magritte's 1929 surrealist work, 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' ('This is not a pipe'). In this painting, an image of a pipe is accompanied with the text, challenging the audience's perception of reality. With This Is Not A Luxury Whisky, Compass Box attempt to do the same.

This is one of 4992 bottles.

This bottle comes from the private collection of one of the original employees at Compass Box. His collection of Compass Box whiskies spans the history of the brand from the first bottling released in 2000 to more recent limited editions.
