Compass Box Orchard House (70cl, 46%ABV)

Compass Box Orchard House is a fruit-forward blended malt Scotch whisky released as a permanent addition to the Compass Box core range in late 2021. It is specifically crafted to showcase a "spirit-forward" style, highlighting the light and fruity characteristics of the distilleries involved rather than heavy cask influence.

Nose: Dominant notes of fresh green and red apples, pear, and lemon, with floral jasmine and a very faint hint of peat smoke.

Palate: Sweet and bright with apple, pineapple, and golden syrup, balanced by buttery pastry and a subtle waxy texture.

Finish: Relatively short but creamy, with vanilla buttercream and lingering soft spices.
