A great blended malt from Compass Box. This was specially crafted by John Glaser, the whisky zealot. It contains highland single malts like Teaninich and secret malts from the villages of Carron and Brora.
Light, stewed fruit, ginger, spice, toffee apple, stewed fruits.
Tart fruit, red apples, tannic, honey, tiny hint of Christmas spice.
Oak, malt, spicy sweetness, milk.
This a wonderful whisky. All fruit and spiceI enjoy a range of malts, and this will be among my favorites. A long finish.
I was recommended this by the local whiskey cellar.... and have to say I was enthralled. Very nice, goes wonderfully cloudy with a couple of cubes in it. Not a top, top whiskey... but a lovely on indeed. Nice, fresh and fairly sharper than my normal smooth requirements. A refreshing change from time to time.
Could nose this whisky for a long time. Wonderful toffee smells.
Very good dram and very drinkable - smooth whisky as I like it
