Compass Box Stranger & Stranger Scotch Whisky 46% Alcohol – 700ml

Stranger & Stranger is a bit of a departure of blending experts Compass Box, because it’s technically not a whisky. Technically. 99% of the blend is made with Scotch whisky (from Glenlossie, Glen Elgin and Linkwood, to be specific), while 1% of the blend is a grain spirit from Girvan which has only been aged for a year. Nose: Vibrant orange blossom and fresh green apple notes up front. Develops hints of cut oak and menthol later on. Palate: Rhubarb and custard sweeties, grassy barley, toasted brown sugar, cooked apple and a hint of milky tea. Finish: Heavy vanilla and toasted almonds.
