About this bottle
‘Vellichor’ is a new word and refers to the aromatic atmosphere within second-hand bookshops. For this project, Compass Box have combined complex and impressively mature whiskies from renowned distilleries, as well as parcels of blends that have been aged for many years in ex-Sherry butts, to encapsulate this unique fragrance.
