This is Compass Box's "Peatiest Dram Yet" (Damn Right) this Whisky is an absolute beast, 75.5% of this liquid is from Ardbeg (one of my personal favourites) and it really comes through. The medicinal notes are toned down by the rest of the whisky in the blend making it extremely rich feels like you can chew on it! The great thing about this dram is how it develops over time in the glass so kick back and relax. It's a bit punchy on the ABV at 48.9%, but for me personally, it warms perfectly for this time of year.
Nose
Big salted chocolate, with big meaty peat and a hint of fresh dill hiding in the background
Palate
One of the best mouth feels I have ever had, extremely rich, salted chocolate coming back with dehydrated lemon and chewy peat
Finish
Long, I mean super long medicinal peat and white pepper spice, but lingering with a spicy chocolate sweetness, it's delightful.
