Compass Box “The Lost Blend”
Country: Scotland
Region:
Type: Blended Malt
Bottler: Compass Box
ABV: 46%
Score: 90 Points
This blended malt from Compass Box is patterned after one of John Glaser’s original whiskies, Eleuthera, which was dropped from the Compass Box range in 2004 when one of the malts was no longer available. The Lost Blend uses malts from Clynelish, Allt-a-Bhainne, and Caol Ila to create a blend with a malty, creamy, and smooth nose that has soft touches of honey, creme brûlée, dried flowers, and orange peel. The taste is spicy with cinnamon, a hint of clove, malt, honey, creme brûlée, and a hint of orange peel. The finish is dry with lingering spices and citrus touches. Very nice. (September, 2014)
