Friday’s Pick: Compass Box Flaming Heart (Batch#2)
December 28th, 2007Compass Box, Flaming Heart (Batch #2), 48.9%, $85
Balanced Islay whiskies combine peat smoke characteristics with a sweet foundation. They’re not one-dimensionally smoky. This whisky is an excellent example. This is a peat-laden whisky with refinement and grace. Creamy vanilla, caramel, and honey harmoniously marry with persistent—yet controlled—peat smoke. Crisp spice notes and dancing fruit throughout add complexity. Well done.
