Be still my heart: Flaming Heart by Compass Box

Dec 1

Written by: Robin

Its no secret I love the entire line of Compass Box Whisky (at least the ones I can get my hands on), but of them all, there's one that stole my heart from the first time I nosed the bottle: Flaming Heart, 2nd Limited Edition.

Flaming Heat, 2nd Limited Edition (FH16MMVII) 2007
Vatted malt whisky: 12-14 yr Caol Ila and Clynelish, with secondary sessile French oak finish.

Color: light gold
Nose: biscuits and salty sea air; caramel, sweet cotton candy.  Coney Island by the sea.  
Palette: Rich, soft and lush.  Soft tones of smoke gently fill the mouth.
Finish: Peaty, soft and warm, wood ash, soapstone, billowy milk chocolate rising from the sides; long and full finish, with spice and smoke wafting in and out.
Outcome: one of the most complex finishes I've experienced in a Scotch whisky.  It teases, presents, falls back, rises again in a way that makes it transcendent.  This is where Glaser earns the role of "artist".

Edit Re: Be still my heart: Flaming Heart by Compass Box

Here is another fascinating blended malt from the Glaser stables. The limited edition is really limited; it’s a mere 2100 bottles. One quarter of it is definitely Caol Ila, there is some Clynelish, actually quite some of it and then a slight bouquet of Daluaine. Sweet peat, apples, peaches and a subtle smoky tang is what beckons your taste buds first. It is definitely sweet but has a sort of dry spicy flavor of aniseed and a touch of bitterness. When you reach the end of the symphony, get ready for a complex signing off, it lasts long and is finely balanced. Real art work from Glaser!Colloidal Silver
