This is our seventh edition of Flaming Heart, the whisky that revels in the harmonies between heavy peat and toasted French oak. Imagine Metallica with a backing orchestra, and you’re getting close.
The smoke machine is powered by a combination of malts from the Laphroaig, Caol Ila and Talisker distilleries, while our Highland Malt Blend has spent more than five years in richly toasted virgin French oak custom casks to deliver round, booming spicy richness.
A high-energy nose with smouldering peat embers, cigar wrapper and candied ginger. The palate is oily, smoky, rich and savoury.
Since 2006, we at Compass Box have returned
again and again to the compelling combination
of heavily-peated malt whiskies and malts extramatured in virgin toasted French oak. Every few years, we discover whiskies with the power and
harmony worthy of Flaming Heart.
