Description

A sherried blended malt from Compass Box, the bulk of Crimson Casks is made up of whisky from Benrinnes, Glen Moray, and "a distillery near the town of Aberlour". An interesting touch of Highland malt blend aged in a custom heavily-toasted French oak barrel adds depth. It was bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural colour.

Here's the full blend breakdown:

- 26.9% single malt from the distillery near the town of Aberlour aged in a first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butt (11-month finish).

- 19.7% Glen Moray single malt aged in a first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butt (four-year finish).

- 14.5% Benrinnes single malt aged in a first-fill bourbon barrel.

- 11.3% Glen Moray single malt aged in a first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butt (four-year finish).

- 8.4% single malt from the distillery near the town of Aberlour aged in a first-fill oloroso sherry-seasoned butt.

- 7.3% Highland malt blend aged in a custom French oak barrel (heavy toast).

- 6.1% Teaninich single malt aged in a first-fill sherry butt.

- 5.8% Glen Moray single malt aged in a refill hogshead (Spanish red wine barrique).

Nose

It’s sherried, but it’s not a sherry bomb. It slowly opens with stewed dark fruits and cardamom. You’ll recognise this nose if you’ve ever had chocolate with a red fruit filling. Cola cubes, orange zest, cinnamon, red wine, and chocolate sponge aromas emerge.

Palate

The palate is exactly what you expect. It is an aromatic, thick, almost syrupy affair with dried fruit, winter spice, dark chocolate, sherry-stained oak, clove, and toasted brown sugar.

Finish

The finish is all blackcurrant jam and smoked nuts.
