A blended scotch, mostly made by lowland grain whiskies, a cheap expression of Compass Box.
Bottled at 43%abv deep gold color.
On the nose a dim, soft aroma: Lemon, Coffee, Candy. Not too much happening here.
On the palate a little better. Chocolate (typical from grain), Pepper, Oak so pleasant and smooth and Plant spicyness like oregano. Finish is very short. Dissapointing.
Overall i give this dram a very regular 71 over 100. Not the best hour for compass box in this one.

Any blend that includes Clynelish and Linkwood can’t be bad in my book :-)
@claptonfan756 yes, price is important when rating whisky but i try to be as fair as possible when rating. $29 is a good price for it, but you are getting a 71 over 100 whisky.
I agree with most of your comments, and I know we should judge a whisky by its tasting notes, but this whisky is $29 at my local liquor store, and at price it’s hard to find anything that comparable.
