Compass Box Myths & Legends II

Had this open for about 6 months. Its a beautiful bottle & had it outnon the bar. I really enjoy it. Nose is awesome & can get a sweet apple as soon as uncork it. Its all tripical fruit that carries onto the palat. Great initial sweet tropical fruit & even banana. Long pleasant spicy finish

I really enjoyed this bottle in the Myths and Legend series. The idea behind this bottle was to illustrate that blending single malts from one distillery influences the final flavor not the region. I think they accomplished this goal. The nose starts with black tea (maybe assam leaves) and dried stone fruits. The palate is surprisingly light and a bit creamy. It's not even close to as sweet as the first entry. The tropical fruits are very pronounced, with a hint of baking spices. The finish has decent length, with little to no burn. After the first bottle in the series, I was very impressed with this one. The silky smooth taste was pleasantly surprising and while it may not be as complex as III, it's still very good. Is it worth the money, maybe not, but you could do much worse.

Strong sherry smell, instant vanilla taste and a nice cinnamon fire on the drink, with an easy finish.

Apple pie and toffee. Very complex and interesting flavor profile.

The second bottle in this series is also a single malt, and like the first one from a distillery I haven’t tried before. This Glen Elgin has a nose of freshly cut green apples and eucalyptus and tastes of Fruit Gums, black tea and a dry white wine. Different, interesting and tasty, but in a lesser class to the first bottle.
