Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Compass Box

ABV: 48.9%

Score: 94 Points

This special edition of Flaming Heart has a hint of peat smoke on the nose, along with cinnamon apples, orange peel, and touches of raspberries and apricots. The taste has a nice balance of clove and cinnamon spices with a gentle peatiness, dried fruits, and a slightly ashy character. The finish is long and smoky with a touch of spice. Excellent!
