Compass Box Phenomenology

After a flight of 1 oz pours of my 3 most recent reviews, the bartender gave me a sample of this. Delicious with notes of vanilla, citrus, caramel, chocolate, and light delicate smoke.

Nose begins with a hint of salt, mellowing into a wheel of rich pear and golden apple. The taste then spreads that fruit back in a wave followed by ripples of salt and wisps of smoke. Tends to emphasize different things with each sip.

Floral and honey aromas with a hint of coconut. It shows a complex dry maltiness all around the palate. Salt on the back end. Doesn't stand out for me, but has some compelling attributes.

Nose is blend between single pot still and speyside. Slight hint of vanilla that is mild and round. Coats tongue well, wide spread heat like wildfire that dies down gradually. Sweet and spicy. Has a lot of chew. Long finish.
