Another superior creation from Compass Box. This vatted (blended) malt sources malts from Aberlour. Teaninich, Deanston, and Glen Elgin. These are aged in various types of barrels before blending: sherry casks, red wine casks, retoasted barrels, refill hogsheads, etc. The resulting blend displays typical sherry notes plus a fresher fruitiness; all underlain by a sweet maltyness with a hint of orchard fruit. This is really good. It may not be your favorite style, but there is no denying the mastery it takes to orchestrate all these elements.
