Compass Box Secrets Of Smoke 700ml 52%

In the world of peated whisky, intense smoke often dominates the conversation, pushing the malt’s softness to the background, hidden behind a lovely campfire.

Secrets of Smoke highlights the role of sherry and wine cask aging, which breaks through this smoky shell to reveal the unexpected softness within these whiskies.

Palo Cortado sherry casks bring out caramelized apple notes from the Caol Ila distillery, red wine casks bring cherry notes from The Peat Monster’s Islay malts, and Marsala casks bring blueberry pancake notes from the Laphroaig distillery.

Step out of the fireplace haze and discover the gentle secrets these whiskies hold!
