Jonesing for a new Compass Box?

If you are one of the many fans anxiously awaiting the latest masterpiece from Compass Box, your wait is over - but you'll have to visit Milroy's of SoHo in London to score a bottle.

Milroy's was excited to let me know that they have teamed up with John Glaser to create Morpheus, a limited edition bottling made specifically for Milroy's

The description: Beguiling flavours reminiscent of cinnamon fruitcake topped with candied orange peel, shaped into dreamily warming peat.

Damn, that sounds good.

Compass Box “Morpheus” (the Greek god of dreams) is a bespoke bottling made for Milroy’s of Soho.  In keeping with the whisky'’s name, we pursued a visionary notion:  the combination of strong peaty notes with an underlying richness and sweetness (due to partial aging on new American oak, something rarely seen outside the dreams of the typical Scotch producer).

Morpheus” is a limited release bottling of just over 900 bottles, bottled in August 2007.

Introductory offer price - £39.95

Contact Milroy's to reserve yours. I did.

Please place me in the group that will not be rushing out to get a Compass Box.
I got one a few years ago, my only compliment was it did somewhat taste like a scotch. I was very disappionted after reading the box remarks then actually sipping it.
Let it be known that I do like ISLAY scotches, Caol Ila and Ardbeg to be a name dropper.

I personally have never had a Compass Box that I didn't like.
I'm guessing that you tried "The Peat Monster"?

I highly recommend giving something else a try. Asyla perhaps. One of the best blends (especially for the price) out there!
