A well mastered Jam

"One of my favourites in the compass box range,the sherry and wine influence brought some amazing character to this crazy jam. The nose and palate is just amazing and not forgetting the long finish. Good dram to both existing whisky drinkers and those finding their way"

Strapping Young Lad

"Initially very nutty on the nose, which comes across as very young. Sweet notes of underripe fruits and barley sugar are also present and become more prevalent. Delightfully soft palate laden with cream and vanilla develops into cinnamon spice and settles into a tingly soft spicy and fruity finish. There will be variations between batches, but I love how transparent Compass Box is with the recipes of their bottlings on their website, and the overall character, which is primarily from Spanish oak casks, should be maintained."

"Enjoy the compass box range (whisky and the beautiful bottles). That said, this expression has a youthful taste (a bit too much alcohol). Some hints of the sherry but not quite the presence of the Hedonism."

Great Blend

"Compass box does a great job of blending and this can easily be mistaken for a single malt. The flavours are great and it’s quite rich"

Fruitful bliss

"Awesome aromas out if this beaut. Some orange peel, vanilla and lots of sherry influence on the nose. Palate reveals stewed fruit, more spices with a long rich finish. Great stuff."

Very Aromatic dram

"I am always excited about new Compass Box releases, especially if they are here to stay and well priced. This is an interesting dram with a very very inviting and beautiful nose. The palate is not what i expected and the finish is quite short but with that being said, it drinks very easily and i will definitely recommend it to any new whisky drinker or as an in on the Compass Box range. Lovely whisky worth buying and trying!"
