It's hard judging a Compass Box Whisky, similar to comparing and rating albums of a favorite artist. I've never purchased a Compass Box Whisky that I would not hit the re-up button on. This one is no different. Open up the nostrils to sherry and fruity notes approaching the dome piece. Minimal peat and etoh on the nose as well. Lastly, hit them with the pie crust on the nose. On the palate, there's spices and cinnamon squadding up with fruit concentrate used as pancake toppings. The finish is what takes this one home, hitting different like the climax of a rollercoaster with a long peppery finish. Very satisfied with it and to try and have a bottle; much recommended to try. With that being said, many other, cheaper Compass Box Whisky's that I would recommend before this.

@paymun the Spaniard looks interesting as well! It hasn’t been on my radar; thanks for the recommendation.
@PBMichiganWolverine both No Name recipes look amazing!
@Whiskali I really like the Story of the Spaniard
@Whiskali out of the affordable ones, I think No Name was one of the favorites for me. But overall favorites ( now unaffordable probably) were “3”, and Circus. The General is legendary, but sadly now only relegated to obscene online prices . There’s a new No Name 2 which replaces Ardbeg with Talisker. I’ve not had it, but the recipe sounds amazing. ( and affordable)
Nice review! I’ve picked up Spice Tree and Peat Monster but haven’t explored much Compass Box otherwise. Any others you recommend checking out?
