Compass Box Flaming Heart 10th Anniversary

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Compass Box

ABV: 48.9%

Score: 91 Points

This blended malt takes the best peaty whiskies from Islay, balances them with Ledaig, and lets Clynelish sing solo. The nose is honey, grass and nuts on top of subtle smoky notes. The taste has great peaty and caramel bass notes, an ashy mouthfeel, honey and citrus notes on top, and a smokiness that builds well into the lingering finish.
