An interesting blend but not as complex as I had hoped
Light smoke, mostly sherry sweet, pretty light on the nose
Plum and some oak spice covered in a light smoke blanket, kind of dry
Plum aftertaste, slightly sweet and bitter, very mellow
new favorite blend, well rounded with a not over powering smoky / peat
One of the better blends, very well balanced with some peat and sweetness.
Soft peat and some fruit on the nose. Seeet, smooth initial taste with a nice, not overpowering peat , smoke and a hint of spice finish. fairly long lasting, mouth coating flavor. Very good introduction to peated whisky.
Strong band-aid scent dominates the nose initially, peat smoke emurges next with some stone fruit subtly in the background, the palate is rich, buttery and smooth with some honey and faint caramel notes, a hint of smoke appears late in the spicy medium finish.
Wonderful scotch. Cheers Compass Box on a peaty and well balanced scotch
after smelling sensations the drink is surprisingly sweet and smooth
smoke raisins fresh grass
very smooth apples sweet and oily
peppery sweet oak
This peated blend from compass box is affordable and enjoyable. Honeyed citrus with smoky peat. I love peated scotch but this blend could use a little more punch to match the smoky notes.

Picked up on clearance. I'm new to peated scotch so this is interesting. Peaty and a little rubbery almost. Nose is very mellow and semi-sweet. I finally understand the bandaid taste note. Cheers to new experiences and clearance sales.
Great if you want to edge your way into peat. Subtle smoke after some warm slightly fruity notes.
fresh earthy peat and spice layer over my and sweet fruits. very well balanced with moderate linger in the finish of autumn leaves
2nd favourite blend

Reliable compass box quality even in their more affordable blends. Well balanced peat and dried fruit notes present but not dominating. Personally recommended over the artist's blend.
smooth with a great oak taste
