Review by Compass Box

Tasting note

In this 2018 edition, we have 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. Its a whisky to enjoy late into the night, perfect served neat or paired with rich cheeses.

Note

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-fired smoke of Islay malt. It created a genre-defying style that was smouldering, spicy, complex and so popular that weve re-released it five more times in the years that followed.
