Compass Box No Name No.3 Blended Malt Scotch Whisky Limited Edition

Bottled at 48.9% ABV Non chill-filtered Natural colour Lead whiskymaker: James Saxon No Name, No. 3 marks a further point on the spectrum of peat. It is older, wilder and weirder than the previous No Names. Seaweedy and barbecue-scented single malt from the Laphroaig Distillery takes top billing, with malt whisky from the Bowmore Distillery lending compelling hints of mango and pineapple at the very limits of ripeness. Seashells and sage; pineapple and allspice; smoke that moves in oily waves. This is the perfect whisky for introducing a little drama to proceedings - and a fitting conclusion to their peaty trilogy. Since 2017, they have used the same recipe structure to explore different smoky blends. Whether it was the crème-brûlée-on-freshly-laid-tarmac effect of the inaugural release or the bonfire-in-a-cherry-orchard style of No Name, No. 2, fans of the series have been treated to radically different expressions of smoke. This final expression is by far the best, and blew Chris and I away with an explosion of BBQ smoke and fruity undertones creating a unique blend and rememorable experience. Limited Edition so only a few bottles available. - Tom Anderer GM & Spirits Director
