Tasting Notes

The 2022 version of the ever-popular Flaming Heart, this bottling marks its seventh edition.

The whisky revels in the harmony between heavy peat and toasted French Oak. Imagine Metallica with a backing orchestra, and you’re getting close.

The 2022 version introduces a deep fruitiness to the mix of smoke, courtesy of a Highland Malt Blend that spent more than five years in richly toasted virgin French Oak custom casks!

On the official Compass Box site, they team curated a special playlist to accompany the whisky, with tunes that embodies the character of the whisky.

Nose: Rich, smouldering embers, with toasted oak, gingerbread, and twists of waxy lemon.

Palate: A high-energy nose with smouldering peat embers, cigar wrapper and candied ginger. The palate is oily, smoky, rich and savoury.

Finish: Savoury smoke lingers, with peppery spice building.

ABV: 48.9%

Price at 3mk: S$270.00
