| Mina kommentarer: En vatted malt whisky från Compass Box. En massa Caol Ila borgar för något gott. Tyvärr tycker jag att den luktar lite för mycket at rökt fisk för att jag ska ge den toppbetyg. |

| Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: | Officiella tasting notes: |
| Type: Vatted Malt. A blend of single malts from different distilleries. Tasting Notes: The aroma is a highly aromatic combination of fruit, spice and marine peatiness in the form of a beach bonfire. Adding water brings out aromas that remind you of burning ropes and a touch of iodine. In the mouth it is very full on the palate, rich and loaded with flavour: a bacon-fat smokiness, full-blown peat, a maltiness, hints of fruit and spice. The finish goes on seemingly forever, echoing peat and smoke for several minutes after you've had a sip. Lead Distilleries: Caol Ila, 10 & 11 years-old; Ardmore, 12-17 years-old. Casks: First Refill American oak, ex-bourbon. John Glaser's Notes: This one's for the real peat heads, and for lovers of complex, multilayered malt whisky. What makes it fit into the Compass Box house style is the balance of richness and subtle sweetness that the old casks of Ardmore provide to the smoky-peaty Caol Ila. As with all our whiskies, several months of marrying allow all the flavours of each of the whiskies to knit together to form what is our biggest and most complex offering. Not over the top, (that's just not our style), but big, complex and balanced. |
