Compass Box Orchard House Blended Malt Scotch

One of Compass Box's core releases, Orchard House is a blend made entirely out of malt* whisky and heavily features single malt from Clynelish and Linkwood Distilleries. The resulting whisky, bottled at 92 proof, is light, fruity, and delicious. The nose offers orchard fruit aromas of apple, pear, and apricot along with citrus, melon, and even some pineapple. On the palate, the malty sweetness of nougat and honey underlies sweet apple, pear, and berry notes. The fruit lingers through the finish, which adds just a touch of chocolate, citrus, and mint.

*The blend makeup details: 41% Clynelish in ex-bourbon, 31% Linkwood in ex-bourbon, 10% Glen Moray in ex-bourbon, 10% "A distillery near the town of Aberlour" (what could it be??) in Sherry-seasoned oak, 2% Highland malt blend in French Oak, 2% Coal Ila in ex-bourbon
