Its a fleeting visit to the world’s most famous whisky-producing country, so it’s important to make an impact, and this bottling from Compass Box definitely leaves a lasting impression. Part of the distillery’s popular Dragon Range, Myth is a sweet and light whisky, and the sister expression of Penderyn Legend. It boasts honey, citrus and apple flavours on the palate, ending with a smooth, warming finish. The judges of The World Whisky Masters 2022 gave it a Gold medal, and described it as an “easy sipping” whisky, with a “banana custard nose, peach and summer fruit”. This whisky spent two-thirds of its life in American oak Bourbon barrels, and the remaining third in European oak Sherry casks, the latter of which has given it a balance of dry Sherry spice, while the former has provided sweeter, tropical notes.
The Rum Cask Single Malt Whisky has been aged in rejuvenated French oak ex-red wine casks seasoned with fine Caribbean rum. This has imparted notes of soft brown sugar and ripe pears on the ‘well-balanced’ expression. With baked apple and vanilla ice cream on the nose, the new release finishes with flavours of tropical fruit and orange peel.

The Bill: R350p/p | Welcome drink, distillery tour and three whiskies paired with five food samples. We decided to offer guests a unique experience. Everyone appreciates a really good whisky. Add food and you have an extraordinary taste experience,” says Simon. Taiwanese distillery Kavalan is no stranger to medals from our World Whisky Masters competition, so if you’re looking for an award-winning whisky from this region, you’re spoilt for choice. But if there’s one particular dram we think you should opt for this World Whisky Day, it’s this Triple Sherry Cask expression. By collecting the CO2 emanated during fermentation, the distillery repurposes this greenhouse gas towards the use in carbonated drinks.
This single malt has been matured in a combination of oloroso, Pedro Ximenex and Moscatel Sherry casks, which has given it plenty of layers of dried fruit and nuts which compliment the distillery’s signature tropical character. Summer berries, dried fruit, grapes, orange, chocolate brownies and toffee aromas treat the nose, while caramel, honey, candied mango, cinnamon, raisins and dates are detected throughout the palate. The cross-dual dishes were selected in such a way that they don’t only match one particular whisky – try them with the various whiskies and decide for yourself which pairing strikes gold,” Simon adds. This particular expression has been been finished in ginger beer casks for a generous 12 months – twice as long as its sixth edition – which has given the double pot distilled whisky an extra generous level of citrussy spice. It also spent some time in apera (Australian fortified wine) and wine casks sourced from across the globe. Expect notes of warming, fresh ginger alongside more mellow, candied ginger, vanilla syrup, and tropical fruit.

While travelling, I always try to carve out some time early in the trip to seek out a bottle of whisky or whisky-adjacent spirits that are locally made, or at least only available locally. I do this for two reasons: First, it’s easy to get tunnel vision about what products are available at my regular liquor stores, and I like to try to get access to things I can’t get at home. Second, then I have a bottle of whisky that must be finished before the return trip!

Judge Billy Abbott, ambassador at The Whisky Exchange, said: “The palate is very approachable, especially for the ABV, with an appropriately intense cinder toffee, toffee and brown sugar sweetness running through with mint, liquorice, and anise.”

From a distillery located in the midst of one of England’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this Master medal-winning whisky takes its name after the ‘heart’ cut of the spirit run during production, and the well-known 19th century Arts & Crafts movement which flourished in the Cotswolds and placed great emphasis on traditional craftsmanship.
