2002 Compass Box Eleuthera Batch Limited Edition 4cl

This is an un - open, an appears to be a 4cl fill level

Compass Box, known for their innovative and artful blends, created the Eleuthera expression. However, it was discontinued in 2004 due to the unavailability of one of its key components. Fear not, for the passionate John Glaser, founder of Compass Box, embarked on a quest to recreate this beloved blend.

The result? The Lost Blend, a limited edition masterpiece that pays homage to Eleuthera. Here are the details:

Composition: The Lost Blend is composed of three main components:
Clynelish: A John Glaser staple.
Caol Ila: Infusing the blend with tangy peat.
Allt-A-Bhainne: An extraordinary 19-year-old malt from an ex-bourbon cask.

Bottling Strength: The Lost Blend is bottled at 46% ABV.

Color and Presentation: Each bottle features randomized labels adorned with “lost” elements like the RMS Lusitania and the Dodo.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: A tangy dose of Caol Ila peat mingles with the sweet aroma of peach. Waxy Clynelish adds a touch of candlewax and vanilla.

Palate: The waxy body carries the charry smoke of Caol Ila, while a chardonnay-like fruitiness dances around buttery toasted oak.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, with lingering peat and fading fruit.
With Water: A few drops enhance the peat smoke and reveal floral notes, akin to lavender.

Overall: The Lost Blend masterfully balances Islay smoke with fruit, creating an ethereal experience. It achieves what Eleuthera aimed for: taming peat while maintaining elegance.
Remember, this is a limited edition gem, so if you happen to come across a bottle, consider yourself fortunate!
