Compass Box Scotch Whiskymakers Release This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky

London, UK (September 23, 2026) — Compass Box, the London-based Scotch whiskymaker known for creating Scotch super blends, today announces the U.S. release of This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky (SRP $84.99/700ml). Building on a decade of campaigning for greater transparency in Scotch whisky, Compass Box created This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky by combining three outstanding single malts each aged 10 years exactly: Clynelish, Ardnamurchan (peated) and Ardnamurchan (unpeated). It is available in limited quantity – only 3,610 bottles worldwide and 600 in the U.S. – and for online purchase in the states at Compass Box's website.

The components in This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky (50.5% ABV) are all exceptional single malts on their own, aged 10 years in first-fill bourbon barrels. Clynelish (66.5%) brings its signature waxy, coastal complexity. The two Ardnamurchan expressions – peated (20.2%) and unpeated (13.3%) – add smoke, structure, and a wild Highland character that few distilleries can match. 

Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes:

Blended by Compass Box whiskymakers Samuel Travers and Michael Stephenson, this Scotch super blend is a whisky redolent with aromas of Pink Lady apple and rhubarb crumble, alongside custard, and pineapple upside-down cake. Take a sip and note the taste of lemon-iced butter cookies, creamy white chocolate, vanilla panna cotta, soft apricots, and nutmeg on sweet oats.

A Decade of Transparency:

The release of This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky marks ten years since Compass Box first began publicly advocating for greater transparency in how blended Scotch whisky recipes are shared, a belief that has helped shape the brand’s ethos. By law, the age statement on a blended Scotch whisky can only reflect the age of the youngest whisky in the blend, meaning that without an age statement, a drinker can rarely be certain exactly what's in their glass. 

“At Compass Box, we have always believed that whisky lovers deserve better,” says Nishat Gupte, CEO at Compass Box Whisky. “Every component of our whiskies, including age and origin, is disclosed in full, every time. This is a 10-Year-Old Whisky is not a statement about the industry, it's a statement about us: full transparency, no compromises. It's simply the way we believe whisky should be made and shared.”
