Compass Box Whisky Orangerie Scotch Whisky Infusion 40% Miniature 5cl

Wine information: Compass Box is a small independent specialist Scotch whisky company, devoted to making some of Scotland’s premier whiskies through the art of blending. Similar to fine wine negociants, they choose individual casks of whiskies from different distilleries, which offer complementary sets of flavours, and then blend the whiskies in small batches. Their whiskies have unusual names and the labels are contemporary in style; it’s all part of their vision: take a contemporary approach to a traditional product. At the core of everything they create is a desire to bring out a purity of flavour, a richness, a drinking experience that will call people back to their glass; to Compass Box, this is the true measure of a whisky’s quality. Orangerie is an infusion made of smooth, sweet Scotch whisky infused with the hand-zested peel of Navalino oranges and subtle accents of Indonesian cassia bark and Sri Lankan cloves. These natural ingredients complement the whisky and enhance its overall aromas and flavours. Orangerie cannot be called Scotch whisky, as it has taken on flavours from the infusion of fresh, hand-zested orange peel and exotic spices. The Orangerie has fascinating aromas of fresh-peeled orange and Christmas cake spices rise from the glass. On the palate there are soft, rich whisky flavours blend with hints of vanilla, cassia bark and clove, offset by sweet-natured orange. Orangerie is extremely versatile. Served slightly chilled, it is a wonderful match with dark chocolate. Orangerie is also great for making extraordinary cocktails. Bottled at 40%. Not chill filtered.
