Compass Box Hedonism

Vanilla, vanilla cream, like a vanilla toffee creme filling in a pastry. I’ve had Cameronbridge before and this is spot on but definitely more rich. Long dry wood spice, shame it’s only 43%, would have loved to try this a little higher. Regardless it’s easily drinkable, tasty and it would change minds that thought poorly of “blended grain” whisky.

Bit of vanilla, tons of gasoline, sharp.

Color: yellow gold Nose: light fresh vanilla, faint lemon/grapefruit, ethanol Mouth: rich, creamy mouthfeel, scents carry over. A little coconut on the finish. Conclusion: very simple. Tasty, but not super interesting. Too expensive for what it is. A nice Irish would be similar and less costly.

This is a solid whisky but not a 97 pointer or in the $99/bottle category in my opinion. It’s a lighter style with more of a bourbon nose and flavors that are akin to a rum with a slight spice. Smooth drinking to be sure.

Well... That one is interesting. I'm a bourbon guy branching out into single malt and scotch so this is from that perspective. On the nose this is very floral. Really unlike anything I've had before. There's some fruit there but overwhelming smell to me was that deep floral aroma. Had my a little worried to be honest... But once you take a sip it's just this amazing blend of creaminess, fruit and some middle ground between coconut and vanilla maybe. I'm betting a drop of water will really open it up. It's not an inexpensive bottle but they have something great going on with this blend

This is a buttery delight, like a velveteen blanket of comfort and holiday spices. This has all the hallmarks of a wintertime classic that can be enjoyed by all but the most bitter of tastes.
