Compass Box Orchard House Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

This is quite pretty and Fruit driven with citrus/peach giving way to just there earth and peat. The palate has a bit more texture with some nougat and banana runts joined to tree fruits and light earth. D&M Tasting Notes

Aromas of apple and pear dominate, with hints of pineapple, lemon and lime zest, and Earl Grey tea. Take a sip and note the malty and gingery flavours. These are soon joined by honey, wild strawberries and vanilla shortbread.

Orchard House gathers together some of the fruitiest malts Scotland has to offer, including whiskies from the Linkwood and Clynelish distilleries; what’s more, we have sourced many of these whiskies as new spirit and laid them down in our own oak casks. This, our monument to fresh fruitiness in Scotch whisky, has been many years in the making. James Saxon, Whiskymaker
