Compass Box Announces Confluence, a One-of-One Blend
Compass Box has unveiled Confluence, a one-of-one blend that will headline Bonhams forthcoming Art & Alchemy of Spirits: Presenting Compass Box to Benefit the Wolfsonian, an online auction running from November 26–December 10.
Compass Box Confluence was created in collaboration with Angela D’Orazio, Compass Box’s recently appointed Creative Director of Whiskymaking. London-based contemporary artist Mary West, renowned for her stylized landscape paintings, has created an exclusive label that blends abstract and figurative elements to evoke landscapes of Scotland and Sweden. Scottish woodworker Duncan Legate, who specializes in hand-made live edge furniture, has crafted a bespoke Scottish timber display, where natural imperfections are hero-ed to echo the interplay of terroirs. Compass Box Confluence is estimated at $10,000-$13,000.
