Compass Box Flaming Heart 2018 Release (70cl, 48.90%)

The 2018 release of Compass Box Flaming Heart is a masterful blended malt, drawing its distinct character from a sophisticated marriage of refill bourbon barrels, heavily toasted French oak, and rich sherried oak. This complex expression highlights the rugged essence of Scotland, featuring a powerful backbone of peaty Islay malt balanced by the rare, elegant depth of Highland whisky from Brora. Bottled at a robust 48.9% ABV, it delivers a deeply layered profile that perfectly showcases the innovative spirit of independent blending.
