Compass Box Art & Decadence, 49%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
The nose is seductively enticing, with caramel, toasted coconut, vanilla pod, red apple, rich chocolate cake, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin. Dried fruit, milk chocolate, and lively spices on the palate, with clove, cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, black cherry, and a perfectly ripe raspberry note. Golden caramel, chocolate pudding, espresso, and toasted oak on the finish, with greater fruitiness unlocked by adding a spot of water. A truly delicious blend. (9,126 bottles)
