Compass Box No Name No.3 Blended Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
No Name was not supposed to become a series, but Compass Box have enjoyed showcasing different heavily-peated malt whiskies within a consistent recipe structure. The interplay of smokiness between all three is completely different, showing that peat is far from one-dimensional. This completes a compelling trilogy. It boasts high density phenols with tarry notes that fans of the series will recognise from the original No Name. At the same time, it boasts a flamboyant fruitiness that builds on that of No Name, No. 2.
This final version has been based around Malt Whisky from the Laphroaig Distillery, aged in recharred hogsheads. Compellingly waxy, fruity and sooty Malt Whisky from the Bowmore Distillery supports this. Fruity and silky unpeated malts, and a little of the Compass Box Highland Malt Blend, complete the recipe.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery shimmer and a burnished, honeyed edge.
Nose
Dense, waxy peat and tarry smoke rise from a high-phenol core. Laphroaig-driven warmth fuses with Bowmore’s fruity, sooty sweetness, while citrus and orchard fruit provide lift. Recharred hogshead aging adds a polished, resinous glow, creating a multi-layered nose that signals bold, sculpted peat and refined balance.
Palate
Oil‑slick, waxy mouthfeel coats the palate as dense peat, tar and medicinal smoke rise. Sooty embers mingle with bright fruit—peach, citrus, green apple—through silky, unpeated malts. Recharred hogsheads add vanilla and subtle sweetness, while the finish lingers with maritime smoke and refined waxy warmth echoing Bowmore’s fruit‑driven peaty character.
Finish
Long, smoky finish of dense tarry phenols, entwined with waxy fruit and a lingering sooty warmth; the flamboyant fruit persists, slowly fading into a silky, subtly sweet impression.
