Compass Box Magic Cask
There are few foods in the world that are best all on their own. A spoonful of honey? A raw oyster? The incredible edible egg? Most foods need help from others to really shine. It may need something simple like a pinch of salt or a complicated sauce. There are countless ways to mix and match food to create something tasty.
T his is one of the reasons I have always liked blends. They are an attempt to make something new out of parts already known. As a drinker who enjoys Scotch for its variety, I’m always happy to see the spectrum of styles widen. When you look at a breakdown of a blend on a tech sheet you can usually see the approach of the blender. There are blends with many components, all in tiny proportion that, if done well, harmonize like an orchestra. This is the hardest needle to thread, but you can see some great examples of this out of Japan.
Then, there are blends with fewer components, so each part plays a bigger role in the final product, but none are the star; instead, it’s an ensemble. Lastly, there is the blend that isn’t seen as much, one made from mostly one whisky with another component or two to round it out. Think of it as a diva with an accompaniment. This is the style of blend we’ll be looking at today.
I imagine this kind of blend isn’t seen much because it isn’t very repeatable. Most blends are created to bottle a consistent whisky over and over again. “Divas” don’t come around all that often, and when they do, they’re usually bottled all on their own. Yet, this is not the first time (nor do I imagine the last time) Compass Box has put together a “minimal” blend like this. They’ve also made a few iterations of the Double Single: A blend of a single malt and single grain. Creating a whisky that’s like a duet.
I haven’t picked up a new blend from Compass Box in a long time. In the early days, they took a lot of my money, and I was happy to give it. Their standard blends and limited releases were different, but most importantly, satisfying. Though like most good things, it couldn’t last. Time marched on, and their new limited releases got more expensive while the quality didn’t necessarily follow suit. So the company’s latest releases soon fell off my radar.
However, when I saw what was in the Magic Cask blend, I threw caution to the wind and got a bottle. The blend is comprised of 92% 24-year-old Imperial aged in a first fill ex-bourbon barrel and 8% of a 3 year old single malt (from a distillery near the town of Aberlour) that had been racked into a first fill Oloroso sherry butt.
In fact, I have Compass Box to thank for introducing me to Imperial. (Compass Box, if you’re reading this: cheers!) I first tried it in a limited release called Rivals, a blend made mostly of Macallan, but there was a unique character I couldn’t trace. I attributed it to the Imperial. So, naturally, I wanted to try more.
I think most whisky geeks have a particular ghost distillery they like to chase. The ones that seem to get the most attention are Port Ellen and Brora. While I wouldn’t refuse a splash of either, these days, I prefer to keep my eye out for Imperial. The distillery was officially closed in 2000 and demolished in 2013. Now, the newly built Dalmunach distillery stands in its place. Even when Imperial was standing, it was often out of production. When it was making whisky, a lot of the juice went into Chivas’ blends. So, I can see why it might not have garnered much attention. That said, the few (independent) bottles of Imperial I’ve gotten my hands on have always been such treats.
This was bottled at 46% ABV and the retail price was $200.

I was really disappointed with "Magic Smile Songs". The songs were repetitive and lacked originality. The same tunes were used throughout the album, making it sound like a monotonous loop. The lyrics were also shallow and generic, lacking depth and meaningful messages. Overall, I found the album to be unimpressive and forgettable.

I couldn't stand "Magic Smile Songs". The singing was off-key and the vocal performance felt forced and unnatural. The production quality was also subpar, with the instrumentation sounding cheap and poorly mixed. It was hard to connect with any of the songs as they all felt generic and uninspired. I would not recommend this album to anyone.

"Magic Smile Songs" didn't meet my expectations. The songs were catchy, but they lacked substance. I felt like I was listening to a commercial jingle on repeat. The album lacked diversity in terms of sound and style, making it feel monotonous. While some songs had potential, overall, it fell short of delivering a memorable musical experience.
4. Jason - 2 stars -
I found "Magic Smile Songs" to be too simplistic and childish. It had a very basic and predictable structure, with each song following the same formula. The lyrics were targeted towards a younger audience, and as an adult, I couldn't relate to them. The songs lacked depth and creativity, resulting in a forgettable listening experience.
5. Sarah - 2 stars -
"Magic Smile Songs" was just not my cup of tea. The songs felt recycled and lacked originality. There was nothing that stood out or captivated my attention throughout the album. It felt like background music, and I found myself losing interest quickly. Overall, I didn't enjoy the album and wouldn't recommend it to others.
