Compass Box, Flaming Heart 2018 Release, Magnum 150cl
This is the sixth edition of Flaming Heart, a whisky inspired by a rock song.
Once again, they combine the rich, bold spiciness of malt whisky aged in heavy-toasted French oak barrels with the evocative smoke of heavy peated Islay malt whisky.
The components are from a range of ages that provides depth and complexity. The combination yields a flavour profile like no other in Scotch whisky:
big, bold, hauntingly smoky, but with an alluring ethereal sweetness that calls you back to the glass.
In this 2018 edition, they have reintroduced a subtle Sherry cask influence that adds an additional layer of complexity and richness. This is a touch they have used for Flaming Heart only once before, in the 2012 edition.
While we nuance each edition of Flaming Heart, the signature style always remains the same.
