One Compass Box's more interesting bottle designs and I love these clear cases they put their nicer bottles into. Nose - There's certainly a lot of alcohol on the nose which given that less than 25% of this is 21 years and younger is a bit surprising (and 20% is 21 years old so only 3.6% is less than 21 years old). There's a nice bit of vanilla. I get the sherry notes come through bringing but there's a lot of alcohol with them. Water cuts into the alcohol and brings out a bit of floral notes as well as some green apples. Taste - The mouth feel is super creamy. Vanilla, nutty notes, cream, some kind of custard. It's really hard to explain this vanilla, and cream and nutty notes with a heck of a lot of heat still on it. More water brings out more of these nutty note and this old antique store wood finish. I've always really said I loved this but with some time away and more whisky, I must say this is incredibly unique, really different, and a really must try whisky for whisky geeks. But at 300 a bottle it is a hard recommendation. Thus a solid 3 score.
