Reviewed December 28, 2017 (edited January 10, 2018)Not really your every day Whisky, but I wanted to see what Compass Box is able to do "at their worst". If this is their worst, hell, I need to try some other stuff. On the nose, you get - big surprise - bitter orange notes, together with cloves and some pepper. The taste starts rather bitter too, then the orange and a bit of honey kick in. Not very sweet, that surprised me. Unlike most orange flavored liquor you still get a taste of the single malt in there. Barley notes, vanilla. Typical highland. Granted, all a bit muted behind the orange, but it is there. Finish is spicy, orange, but rather short. Would I use this as every day dram? No. But it's an alternative to stuff like Cointreau and Grand Manier, when the orangy bug bites me again. Plus, not that expensive. -

Reviewed December 21, 2017I enjoyed it. It's meant to taste like orange and it does that well. Easy drinking and a different taste. Not an everyday whiskey though.
