Nose- bananas, apricot, ripe apples, brown sugar, gentle smoke, honey, dates
Palate- Mushy bananas, brown sugar, figs, honey, black pepper, light peat smoke, sweet sherry
Finish- Long, oily finish that coats the mouth and tongue with notes of berries, charred wood, and black pepper
Mmm mmm mmm. This is my first experience with Compass box, and i’m impressed. Overall, super complex on the nose, palate and finish. Oily and stings the tongue throughout, with a finish that seems to last forever. Every time I nose and drink this, I keep getting new flavors, and some that I can’t quite place. Very enjoyable dram that is in your face and has wonderful, bold flavors.
