3.0 Stars - Good; 750 ml bottle Four more years! Four more years! The apple does not fall far from the Johnnie Walker tree. This is a well made and distinctive blend with ample amounts of Linkwood and Clynelish. It is one thing to understand where the market is going. It is something else to capitalize on the changing environment. Well aged, high quality, affordable whiskey is now hard to source. This is new make, 1st full bourbon barrels, aged by Compass Box approximately 8 years. This flavor profile fits in nicely with their portfolio of Spice Tree, Peat Monster, and Story of a Spaniard. However, I wish this was 4 years older with the same $60 price point as those other three. Aroma and flavor is overripe fruit, almost like a five day old fruit salad of apples, pears, pineapple and grapes. Crazy easy to drink for 46% ABV. Young notes are small and well hidden. If there is a higher aged, special edition of this whiskey, I would buy it in a second.
