Sometimes in life there are two things with a shared nature, a kinship. They are somehow meant to be together, despite apparent differences. Such is the case, with Scotch whisky and Calvados. Compass Box has been blending Calvados with Scotch whisky in their blending room for years. The flavor combination is classic: apples and spice riffing off dried fruits and vanilla. These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.
