Compass Box is not a traditional distillery; it is a London-based Scotch whisky blending house and independent bottler. Founded in 2000 by John Glaser, the company sources high-quality single malt and grain whiskies from established Scottish distilleries to create unique, craft-oriented blends.

The company describes itself as “Whiskymakers,” a term they coined to emphasize their active role in selecting, blending, and further maturing spirits. They are notable for their transparency policy, often publishing the exact recipes and distillery sources for their blends on their website.
