Orchard House is a blend of some of the fruitiest malts from Scotland, including whiskies from the Linkwood and Clynelish distilleries. These whiskies are sourced as new spirit and matured in Compass Box's own oak casks, a process that has been many years in the making. This creation is their tribute to the fresh, fruity essence found in Scotch. But to.my mind it would be better with 43 or even with 40 ABV. It's a bit too spicy at the beginning. And I really enjoy their labels and bottle design.
