.compass box - great king street - artist's blend

Day three of the Master of Malt - Drinks by the Dram 2015 whisky advent calendar. Time to dive back into a great blend, of the great blenders of Great Kings street; the great Compass Box...

43% abv, €48.39, single malt, non-chill filtered, natural colour

Nose: sweet & sour, vanilla, unripe berries, gooseberries

Palate: sweet, vanilla, honeysuckle, fresh fruit, berries, gooseberries, a hint of white pepper, slightly dry mouthfeel

Finish: 'dark', sweet, vanilla, slight sour, berries, gooseberries, rather short
Mark: +++/++ 

Conclusion: Things got better since my first note earlier in 2014. Good stuff, why is this not in my daily drams shelf? Time to change that...

More info: Who better to tell you the extra info on this blend then the people of Compass Box themselves, via an awesome pdf?
