There are many great whiskies. We sell a few very unusual ones, chosen for their special qualities, their uniqueness, and their outstanding drinkability. We like whiskies that are richly flavored but remain pure and delicate.www.stgeorgespirits.com / www.compassboxwhisky.com

COMPASS BOX Hedonism. Blended grain whisky. Rare, unusual, totally delicious. We have what's left from the original bottling. Ethereal - old, old grain from single barrels. The blend is especially rare because the casks come from the now-closed Cambus and Caledonian distilleries. David Brown in Whisky Magazine gave it an 8 1/2: "ripe, elegant, lush." The rich, vanilla-toffee-chocolate flavors and sweet, lingering finish have been a relevation to everyone who's tried it. Rave reviews when it debuted in England. It's a wonderful addition to the world of superior distilled spirits. Very few spirits can match the quality at this price.

COMPASS BOX Asyla. A beautiful grain/malt blend. Beautiful soft rich grain as backdrop to a more dramatic malt. You can't believe the bottle is only $37. The grain is from the Cameronbridge and Cambus distilleries; the malt is 12-year-old Linkwood.

COMPASS BOX Eleuthera. Spectacular blend of intense single-malts. Wonderful softness and genteel complexity with lovely Islay smoke. Now you know why the great whiskymen like to blend. It's very easy to drink: Glaser has an eye for great whisky. An old Caol Isla and 2 casks from Clynelish are the components. Scarce: there were only 120 bottles imported into the USA. A steal at $50. We are now down to our last few bottles, so don't wait.
