A rich, medium-bodied blended malt Scotch whisky, Compass Box Oak Cross is created from a combination of American and French oak ageing.
All the whiskies blended in Oak Cross are aged for their primary maturation in a mix of American oak cask types. The marrying casks are a mix of first-fill Bourbon barrels and our proprietary “Oak Cross” casks made of American and new French oaks. French oak casks are thought to add more character and complexity to the whisky.
Oak Cross combines vanilla characters from American oak and spicy, clove-like characters from French oak.
