Compass Box Asyla Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
"Asyla is as simple as English breakfast tea taken with a thick slice of battenberg cake, but as complex as spiced eggnog and lemon souffle. The whisky has a fairly dry finish that leaves the palate begging for a second dram. This is however, no cause for concern."
A super high quality blend from maverick Whisky blender John Glaser which for the money is probably one of the very best blends you can buy right now.
In the mix here are single malts from the Glen Elgin, Linkwood and Teaninich distilleries as well as grain whisky from the Cameronbridge distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow and a touch of copper.
Nose
A refined bouquet of English breakfast tea folds into almond marzipan from battenberg, with lemon zest brightening the aroma. Subtle spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—suggests spiced eggnog, while a whisper of vanilla and sherry-cask maturity adds depth. The fragrance is poised, delicate, and inviting, hinting at the complexity to come in the sip.
Palate
On the palate, English breakfast tea depth meets battenberg sweetness—almond, vanilla and a lemon lift mingle with a creamy, spiced eggnog core. Subtle malt and grain backbone, touches of citrus zest and nutmeg, finishing fairly dry and inviting a second dram.
Finish
A fairly dry finish that lingers on the palate, inviting a second dram.
