So this essentially Ardbeg dominated blend is supposed to be better than any of the readily available Ardbeg releases, yeah? Well, let me tell you it’s not. It’s more of an Ardbeg for bourbon drinkers with the sweetness taking over and the peat only really coming in at the finish. I get why it’s good, it’s a good blend, but in my opinion Compass Box is like Johnnie Walker with nice labels. It’s more about style than substance. Of course they’re blending good whiskies so it tastes good, but those whiskies didn’t need to be blended in the first place. 92
