Compass Box Secrets Of Smoke Blended Scotch Whisky

Colour

Rich golden-amber with a copper-bronze sheen and a faint ruby warmth.

Nose

Peat smoke and mineral brightness rise with a whisper of honeyed sweetness. Caol Ila malt contributes toffee‑apple depth, while refill red wine casks coax bright cherry from The Peat Monster. Subtle blueberry flapjack undertones mingle, as Laphroaig’s Marsala‑barrel finish adds warm, cooked‑fruit depth and a soft, indulgent spice.

Palate

On the palate, a smoky, creamy balance of peat and sweetness. Caol Ila malt pours a toffee-apple core, while refill red wine casks lift bright cherry notes into the mix. Laphroaig adds blueberry-flapjack nuance, finished in Marsala barriques that usher in a warm, lingering smoke with refined sweetness.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with red‑fruit sweetness from wine casks and Marsala barriques. Peat remains poised, weaving bright cherry and toffee‑apple notes into a creamy vanilla‑oak fade. A coastal ember lingers, evolving into a velvety, fruit‑driven sweetness that holds on softly.
