Another great whisky from my beloved Compassbox. First released in 2006, Flaming Heart was the first whisky to combine the rich, complex spice of Scotch aged in new French oak with the evocative peat-red smoke of Islay malt.
It created a genre-defying style that was smouldering, spicy, complex – and so popular that Compassbox re-released it five more times in the following years.
In this 2018 edition, Compassbox has reintroduced a subtle sherry-cask influence that adds an additional layer of complexity and richness. A medium smoky-peaty base is enriched by a sweet maltiness and notes of baking spices and dried fruit.
It’s a whisky to enjoy late into the night, perfect served neat or paired with rich cheeses.
