Compass Box Canvas

Compass Box Canvas is a bright, modern blended malt Scotch whisky designed to celebrate flavour, creativity, and approachability. Created by the award-winning Compass Box Whisky Company, Canvas represents a lighter, more expressive style within the Compass Box portfolio—perfect for whisky drinkers who value balance, freshness, and elegant complexity over heavy smoke or overpowering oak.

The name Canvas reflects Compass Box’s philosophy: whisky as an artistic medium. This expression is crafted to showcase how carefully selected malt whiskies, matured in high-quality oak, can come together to create a harmonious and versatile flavour profile. The result is a whisky that feels clean, vibrant, and refined, while still delivering depth and character.

On the nose, Compass Box Canvas opens with fresh orchard fruits, vanilla cream, honey, and soft floral notes, complemented by gentle oak spice. The palate is smooth and welcoming, revealing ripe apples, pear drops, lemon zest, malt sweetness, and subtle baking spices. A light oak backbone provides structure without overshadowing the fruit-forward profile. The finish is medium-length, clean, and softly warming, leaving notes of vanilla, citrus, and delicate spice.

Unlike peat-heavy or sherry-dominant whiskies, Canvas focuses on clarity and balance, making it an excellent everyday sipping whisky and a strong introduction to premium Scotch. Its versatility also makes it suitable for tasting flights, whisky education, and refined whisky serves, while remaining complex enough to satisfy experienced drinkers.

Ingredients, Composition, and Maturation

Compass Box Canvas is a blended malt Scotch whisky, composed exclusively of single malt whiskies from multiple Scottish distilleries. The blend is matured primarily in high-quality American oak barrels, selected to enhance sweetness, fruit character, and mouthfeel.

Compass Box does not use artificial colouring or flavour additives. The whisky is bottled at a strength that preserves aroma, texture, and natural flavour integrity.
