The first note on the nose I got was smoked bacon, so I am definitely "all-in". I don't know their recipe at all, but I suspect Caol Ila because of the nice smoke, but also just a tough of some Ardbeg because of the earthy properties. Clynelish most likely brings the nice mouth coat and floral/citrus properties of lavender. Subtle distant lemons, mangoes, and oranges. It has a pleasant heavy mouth coat, a little hot because it's cask strength, but a great combo of all those flavors on the taste. I'd love to have one of those goofy hats that hold bottles so I could have two straws from two 1.75 liter bottles. =D LOL ... I don't typically do blends, but Compass Box earns respect, and I am again met with an outstanding glass. Thanks for the try @LeeEvolved ! 4.0 and I am looking forward to trying more of their bottles. The theme to this dram should be a little chunky and chewy. How about the "Cowboys from Hell" by Pantera.
