Compass Box "Orchard House" Blended Malt Scotch Whisky Gekkeikan A sublime statement of whiskeyNose Fragrantly floral and fruity, with a soft waxiness (thanks to Clynelish and Benrinnes) and lovely wood notes. The fruits come across as "young" (mainly grape, pear, and peach), but are well integrated with some oily spirit, sweet ex bourbon aromas, and a slightly savory side. The minuscule amount of Caol Ila provides a briny saline maritime backdrop without ever translating into any actual smokiness. Buttery soft with zero alcohol in the nose.
