✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First released in 2006, Flaming Heart was a groundbreaking expression from Compass Box that pioneered the combination of bold, maritime Islay peat smoke with the rich, sweet, and spicy character of heavy-toasted French oak casks. The 6th Edition, released in 2018, continues this rock-and-roll-inspired legacy. It masterfully weaves together heavily peated single malt from the Caol Ila distillery with elegant, fruit-forward Highland malts from Clynelish and Deanston, alongside Compass Box's signature Highland malt blend finished in custom-toasted French oak casks. The result is a dramatic, multi-layered Scotch whisky where sweet baking spices, rich vanilla, and smoldering peat fire perform in perfect, harmonious tension.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Compass Box er et banebrydende skotsk whisky blending-hus med base i London, grundlagt i 2000 af den amerikanske iværksætter og tidligere vinhandler John Glaser. Virksomheden fungerer som en uafhængig boutique-whiskymager frem for et traditionelt destilleri og udvælger enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra hele Skotland. Her nytænkes blending-kunsten gennem kreativ fadmodning, skræddersyede franske egetræsfade og et kompromisløst fokus på gennemsigtighed. Compass Box har udfordret de traditionelle konventioner i whiskyverdenen med sin progressive filosofi og håndværksmæssige tilgang, hvilket har resulteret i en alsidig portefølje, der hyldes for sin levende innovation og kompleksitet. Blandt husets mest roste signaturaftapninger findes Hedonism, en skelsættende blended grain whisky, samt anerkendte blended malts som The Peat Monster og The Spice Tree.
