Compass Box Flaming Heart 48.9% (2018)

Compass Box's Flaming Heart 2018 Edition is a smoke-driven, powerful, yet elegant blended malt that perfectly preserves the signature Flaming Heart DNA. This edition combines rich, maritime malts from Caol Ila and Talisker with a more subtle, spicy heart of Highland whiskies, complemented by the careful use of French oak for added depth and texture.

The result is a whisky that is at once intense, flavourful and refined :

• Nose: Peat smoke, dark spices, sea salt, ginger and creamy vanilla.

• Palate: Powerful smoke, peppery warmth, citrus oil, spicy oak and soft sweetness.

• Finish: Long, smoky, slightly oily and complex, with a nice mix of smoke and spice.

The 2018 bottling is considered by enthusiasts to be one of the most balanced Flaming Heart releases: bold, expressive and perfectly constructed , ideal for collectors and for the pure lover of smoky malt blends.
