The Malt Whisky Collection range from Compass Box is lit by The Story of the Spaniard, a blended malt scotch whiskey aged in ex-sherry casks and Spanish red wine. Full, soft and sumptuous on the palate with flavours of citrus peel and pears poached in red wine and spices, is a whisky ideal for late evening sipping or stirring into a cocktail. The name is a nod to the casual meeting of the founder of Compass Box with an eccentric man in the south of Spain who introduced him to the world of Sherry for the first time. Compass Box Orchard House A brilliantly fruit-forward blended malt from those talented Compass Box folks! Featuring whiskies from the likes of Clynelish, Linkwood, Benrinnes, and more, this expression offers up oodles of lip-smacking fruit notes, making for an astonishing post-prandial dram... Nose Fresh green and red apples almost hit you in the face, living up to its name. Underneath there’s notes of grainy pear skin, bright lychee, and a faint hint of aromatic smoke. Palate Sweet and bright. Tart apple is balanced by pineapple, golden syrup, buttery pastry, with that subtle peat smoke appearing underneath. Finish Creamier on the finish, with vanilla buttercream and fresh fruit lingering.
