Compass Box pitches its Secrets of Smoke release as a marriage of smoky and sweet. At first pour, the smoke and sweetness are still courting but not quite yet married, with an ashiness dominating the relationship. I’ll check in on this one again after it’s taken more air. Sláinte! I bought two of these back in 2019. Finally cracked the back up. At 12 years 8 months it’s all sweet oak, caramel, and orange zest, with a dollop of cherry pie filling and a dusting of baking spice. Lovely. Cheers! New notes on SIX RARE WHISKEY SAMPLES. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on these samples dating back as far as 1969, generously shared with me by a fellow whiskey fan. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
