Compass Box Artist Blend Scotch Whisky Review
This blend opens with notes of underripe peaches and inviting incense. The producer decided not to chill-filter, so the palate is rounded and creamy with traces of sweet malt. It is aged in ex-bourbon barrels, French oak casks, and Palo Cortado-season sherry butts, giving it a nice mix of flavors. The perfect entry-level Scotch at a very reasonable price.
