The Myths and Legends series from Compass Box was created to challenge some myths and legends about Scotch whisky which turned unchallenged facts by the drinkers. The first member in this series, Myths & Legends I, was matured in first-fill bourbon barrels and re-charred American oak barrels, to debunk the parable that a whisky’s region dictates its taste – it’s all about the casks. One of the first issues to understand about whiskey is a mash bill or the components that make up the mash which is later fermented and distilled. Looking to order whiskey online, however unsure what the mash bill means about the drink?
