Description
The One I Love blended malt whisky from Compass Box is an exclusive bottling that was originally intended as a thank-you gift for members of the "I Love Compass Box" Facebook group. Due to its popularity, this whisky is now also available to all other fans of the brand. This hand-picked composition combines six outstanding Scottish single malts and offers an incomparable taste experience.
Two whiskies with a strong character make up the largest part of the blend: A Speyside malt from a distillery near Aberlour, matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. This is complemented by a Caol Ila, matured in refill sherry puncheons, which has a smoky, maritime character. Another important component is a Highland Malt Blend, which was matured in custom-made French oak casks.
A peated whisky from Tobermory provides even more complexity, adding an interesting depth with intense smoky aromas, citrus oil and herbal notes. The blend is rounded off with a share of Ardbeg, which impresses with its tarry, butterscotch-like notes. Another highlight is the Magic Cask 2019 Remnant, a blend of bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry butts, which enhances the fruity and spicy side of this unique whisky.
Compass Box stands for exceptional whisky artistry and innovative blends. The brand is known worldwide for its experimental and perfectly balanced whisky creations that combine whisky tradition with modern flair. "The One I Love" is another masterpiece that combines smoke, sweetness and fruit in a harmonious balance. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Deep gold with amber reflections.
Nose: Dark fruits such as dates and raisins meet sweet spices such as cinnamon and cloves, accompanied by an intense campfire smoke.
Taste: Notes of dark chocolate, peaty smoke and grilled bacon, combined with sweet toffee, vanilla and a hint of citrus oil.
Finish: Long and intense with an interplay of sweet oranges, ripe apples, herbal notes and smoky depth reminiscent of dry red wine.
This smoky and complex blend harmonizes perfectly with grilled meat, especially smoked salmon or BBQ ribs. Strong blue cheese or dark chocolate with a high cocoa content also underline the multi-faceted aromas of the whisky. (automated translation)
