Compass Box Travelling Circus, 49%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
This is full of refreshing sweet fruit and zingy citrus aromas, with mandarin peel oils, lime zest, apricot, white pepper, dried flowers, a dry salinity, and hints of ashy smoke and caramel. Honey, lemon, and orange hard candy on first sip, with a lengthy peppery streak followed by dried tropical fruits, white chocolate, and that slight saltiness and smoke. The finish is on the short side, offering lemon bonbon and vanilla. (Global Travel Retail only)
