I like peat and Laphroaig is my favourite peated whisky. I like Compass Box whiskies and I was really looking forward to this. YouTube channel Whisky Mystery liked it a lot and I finally gave this one a go. The colour is almost transparent which is kind of neat. On the nose I get Caol Ila all day long. This blend has 54% Caol Ila 8 yo, 34% Laphroaig 7 yo, 6% Ledaig 7 yo, 5% Ardmore 7 yo, 1% Highland blend 9 yo. I don’t get the Laphroaig but on the palette I get the parts of Ledaig that I don’t like - a bit of an ashy, rubbery peat. Caol Ila is there as well. It is Compass Box smooth and well blended. The catch is I don’t prefer Caol Ila and I dislike Ledaig. What I wanted was more spice, some European oak influence like Spice Tree. On the finish I don’t get a lot and, the best part of Caol Ila 12 is a smoke that rises on the finish. That smoke isn’t here and there is no spice. Caol Ila 12 is better if you like Caol Ila. Laphroaig is unidentifiable here and Laphroaig 10 is way better if you like Laphroaig. Ledaig is identifiable and that’s a bad thing. I don’t know Ardmore so I can’t comment there. Drink it? Yes, I’ll finish it but it will take a long time. Buy again? Never.
