Compass Box Description
Released in the fall of 2017, this is a limited edition bottling from Compass Box which they call their "peatiest whisky yet". As to the details of the bottle they are as follows: 75.5% of volume is from "a well-known distillery located along Pier Road" (Ardbeg), aged in re-charred American standard barrels; 10.6% is produced "near the village of Port Askaig" (Caol Ila), aged in refill American standard barrels; 13.4% is from "a much-loved distillery in the northern Highlands village of Brora" (Clynelish), aged in re-charred hogshead; and 0.5% is a Highland malt blend (undisclosed), aged in a heavily-toasted French hybrid cask. It is non chill-filtered, and no color has been added. Bottled at 48.9% ABV.
The peatiest Compass Box ever, indeed. The experience kicks off with an iodine and campfire charged nose. Bellowing, smoky peat continues on the palate. There's a slight counterbalance there in the form of dried fruits, citrus zest, spicy oak, and sour cherries, but it's peat all the way, which continues into a lengthy finish. Peat-heads only.
