Whiskies from 'Compass Box'

• Compass Box Asyla

Plenty of attack, but straightforward rather than complex. Suggested as a base for cocktails. I'll work on that...

• Compass Box Asyla

A refreshing dram. Straightforward, clean. No complexity but it does not boast sophistication. Simplicity and natural are also great qualities.

• Compass Box Asyla

• Compass Box Eleuthera

Hold your glass to your ear and listen to water lapping against the tarred boat hull.

• Compass Box Flaming Heart

Worth a try but not the most subtle or refined of the range.

• Compass Box Hedonism

Someone knows what they are doing. Who would have thought grain whisky could taste so good?

• Compass Box Hedonism

Compass Box knows how to stay on course. Its whiskies are well-judged and consistent.

• Compass Box Hedonism

Remarkably flavoursome and enjoyable for a blend of grain whiskies.

• Compass Box Oak Cross

Perky, smooth yet firm and spicy. Clever stuff and hugely drinkable.

• Compass Box Orangerie

it is not a whisky, so it cannot be scored as one. In character, I would regard it as an aperitif liqueur, rather than an-after dinner drink. In a category of its own, it secures a high score.

• Compass Box The Peat Monster

A monster? As compared to earlier creations from the same house, but don't expect mass hysteria on Park Avenue.

• Compass Box The Peat Monster

• Compass Box The Peat Monster

A warm, clean and charming whisky. The Islay influence is there but gently flirting with a mainland fellow. An accomplished character.
