Compass Box is famous for doing bespoke whiskies to certain stores, restaurants and bars. In this amazing trend, they have worked with a brewing company to develop a very affordable blend called Transistor.
Bottled at 43%abv, this has been created to be mixed or paired with beer.
On the nose, peaches, wet wall paint, bread, and very yeasty. Not remarkable, but not bad at all.
On the palate, it gave me a wonderful white Kit kat chocolate; heart of the pineapple and oranges. Again this yeasty note; a spongy cake. There is youthness hiding beautifully in the yeast. Butter.
Aftertaste is all about sawdust, a great cuban cigar, salt and pepper. Tropical fruitiness appear along the saltiness and the tobacco.
Overall, for a 50 -60 dollar whisky, this is actually very good. Not overly complex or remarkable, this is a good deal for your money. Very enjoyable, i could have this one any day. My score for it is 83 over 100.
