Compass Box

The 2018 bottling of Flaming Heart blended malt from Compass Box is a powerful expression, filled to the brim with smoke and deliciousness. Those of you with very well-trained noses will catch notes of Caol Ila, Clynelish and Deanston within this one, with a few more unnamed whiskies hiding within. 15,050 bottles were produced.
Coastal air and fiery peat, tempered by hints of honey on toast and vanilla pod.
Continued smoke alongside drying Christmas spices and a very slight touch of raisin cookies.
Oatcakes, salted butter, orange and clove.
Nose: Grasping peat. Palate: Full mouthfeel dives into incredible sweet spiced peat. After: The balance drives forward, sherry giving it measure. Stunning.
This is my least favourite CB in the £90+ CB club. No name, Juveniles, Phenomenology, The Lost Blend, and a few other, all are much more interesting and tastier.
Fantastic blended malt.
I really looked forward to this release, unfortunately it ended up to be disappointing. This is not to say it is a bad dram by any means, but closer to the 86 score range than the 91-93 range of the 2012 or 2015 releases. While I enjoy sherry cask finish, it does change the flaming heart flavor profile and the Caol Ila and Clynelish are definitely younger stock than previously, at a higher price :( overall experience three stars
