Compass Box Unveils The Confluence, A Blend of Over Six Expressions Valued At $10,000

 

Compass Box is unveiling the launch of The Confluence, a one of a kind expression that will headline Bonhams upcoming event "Art & Alchemy of Spirits: Presenting Compass Box to Benefit the Wolfsonian". The Confluence is a blend of over six Swedish and Scottish whiskies, and it estimated to be valued at $10,000 to $13,000. 

The Compass Box Confluence was created in collaboration with Angela D’Orazio, Compass Box’s recently appointed Creative Director of Whiskymaking. Scottish woodworker Duncan Legate, who specializes in hand-made live edge furniture, was responsible for crafting the bespoke Scottish timber display housing the bottle. Meanwhile, London-based contemporary artist Mary West, renowned for her stylized landscape paintings, created the exclusive label with a blend of abstract and figurative elements that were intended to evoke landscapes of Scotland and Sweden. 



The Compass Box Confluence includes a blend of these whiskies:

Distillery Spirit Cask type Constituent of total blend 
Mackmyra Distillery Swedish Single Malt Cherry Wine Fresh Seasoned American Oak 9%

Swedish Single Malt Oloroso First Fill Sherry Seasoned American Oak 9%
