Compass Box was launched in 2000 by the American John Glaser, who was previously International Marketing Director at Johnnie Walker. To promote his whisky, John travelled through London visiting pubs and bars with samples and, in idiosyncratic style, handing out business cards billing himself as “John Glaser – Whisky Zealot”. Compass Box’s modus operandi and strong work ethic is what sets them apart as an independent bottler and blender like no other. Compass Box buy individual casks and focus on creating a craftsman- like boutique product. None of their bottlings are chill-filtered, nor is any colouring added and are all married exclusively in American oak. This brings the characteristic sweetness to the whisky. THEPEATMONSTEROLDFASHIONED INGREDIENTS 1 ounce Vixen Vodka 2 ounces white cranberry peach juice ½ ounce Elderflower Liqueur DIRECTIONS

Combine the vodka, white cranberry peach and liqueur in a shaker. Shake gently and pour over ice. Add your favorite garnish – we used fresh cranberries and an orange twist.

The Old Fashioned is said to have first been created at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky at the end of the 19th century, and today is regarded by many as the greatest whisky cocktail of all time. This version is a surprising twist on the classic recipe.
