Orchard House 46% 70cl

Compass Box Orchard House

The Compass Box Whisky Makers wanted to create a whisky that evoked the fruitiness of an orchard. To do this, they took particularly juicy Clynelish, Linkwood and Benrinnes single malts, and combined these. 

For this expression, the majority of the whisky was actually purchased by Compass Box as new make, unaged spirit, which they have then aged in their own casks, and selected for blending and bottling at the best moment.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose – Apple, pear and peach initially. Hints of rich peat and black cherry. Pineapple, all manner of citrus zests (especially lemon and lime), and Earl Grey tea. Powdered ginger leads into a rounded maltiness. Vanilla and toasted desiccated coconut. Sweet biscuity notes with touches of cinnamon.

Palate – Apple juice, muesli, banana and honey. Wild strawberry. Very breakfast-like at first! An oily texture with subtle peat again. Sultana, vanilla and then a creaminess infused with hay and meadowsweet. Hints of cocoa powder in the finish.
