Compass Box Orchard House
Blended Malt
Compass Box // Scotland
Orchard House joins the brand's core lineup. It gets its name from the dominant part of its blend of single malts, which comes from stocks of liquid from various distilleries known for whiskies with fruit-forward flavor profiles.
These whiskies were then aged in a variety of casks which include first fill ex-bourbon barrels, oloroso sherry-seasoned butts, and French oak custom barrels. It is bottled at 46% ABV and available as of October, 2021.

Tasting Notes
"Orchard House is aptly named, bringing notes of apple and pear to the fore in a delightfully fruity malt blend. The spirit also offers subtle vanilla and almond, along with whispers of elderflower and peat on the finish. Fun and complex, it's an excellent addition to the Compass Box line-up."
