Compass Box Lady Luck

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Compass Box

ABV: 46%

Score: 94 Points

John Glaser used casks of 29 and 25-year-old Caol Ila and a cask of 14-year-old Imperial to create Lady Luck. The nose is smoky with subtle fruity notes of figs and pears. The taste is a well-balanced complex mix of smokiness and pepper, a slight brininess, and traces of grass and heather that come out slowly as the spicier notes fade and carry straight through into the finish.
