Description
The Compass Box Flaming Heart 7th Edition marks the return of a cult classic, celebrated for its meeting of peat smoke and toasted French oak. Bottled in August 2022 at 48.9% ABV in a limited run of 9,606 bottles, this blended malt combines peated malts from Laphroaig, Caol Ila and Talisker with a Highland malt blend aged for more than five years in richly toasted virgin French oak casks. Bottled at natural colour and without chill-filtration, it showcases the brand’s commitment to transparency and innovation. Flaming Heart is released only occasionally, and each edition is keenly followed by collectors. For those looking to expand their cabinet, liquor delivery across South Africa from Decanter Liquor ensures it arrives safely at your door.
- Nose: Smouldering peat embers, cigar wrapper and candied ginger.
- Palate: Oily, smoky, rich and savoury.
To fully appreciate its layers, serve it neat in a Glencairn glass. A few drops of water can soften the smoke and reveal further sweetness. Whether you are a seasoned peat lover or a curious enthusiast, it is one of the most characterful blended malts to add to your collection of premium whisky in South Africa.
