Compass Box The Circle Release No. 1 Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
The Circle is based around a parcel of fruity and creamy single malt from the Tamdhu Distillery in Speyside. This is supported by malt whisky from the Clynelish Distillery. A touch of peated malt whisky from an Orkney distillery and a small proportion of a French oak-finished blended malt whisky complete the recipe.
Bursting with apple, vanilla and malty notes. A very delicate hint of smokiness is noticeable on the finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm honey glow and coppery highlights, a lustrous pour that hints at oak and sherry influence.
Nose
Crisp apple and vanilla buoy a creamy, malty core, with orchard-fruit sweetness and soft cereal notes. A delicate veil of peat smoke lingers, underpinned by French oak’s polished, toasty spice.
Palate
Silky, creamy on the palate, this blend floods the mouth with orchard apple and warm vanilla, balanced by gentle malt sweetness. A soft, cereal richness sits beneath, while a subtle touch of peat threads through, carried by the depth of French oak. The finish is poised and refined, with a delicate smoke that lingers gracefully alongside gentle spice.
Finish
An elegant, long finish where apple and vanilla thread through malt, leaving a creamy, orchard-aired sweetness. A very delicate hint of smoke lingers at the end, ghosting with subtle oak and a refined warmth.
