Description
A cornerstone of the Compass Box core range, Orchard House is a Blended Malt Scotch Whisky that celebrates the fruity distillery character of some of Scotland’s most fragrant malts. Rather than leaning heavily on wood influence, this 46% ABV whisky is aged mostly in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, with some refill hogsheads and a little oloroso, allowing the natural esters of the spirit to take centre stage. The recipe is led by Clynelish and Linkwood, with Glen Moray, a Speyside malt from near Aberlour and a touch of peated Caol Ila, creating a complex yet immensely drinkable 750ml bottle. When you buy whisky in South Africa through Decanter Liquor, you are securing a non-chill-filtered dram with no added colouring. It bridges the gap between easy sipping and connoisseur-level appreciation. Take advantage of reliable liquor delivery across South Africa and enjoy these tasting notes:
- Nose: Apple and pear, with pineapple, lemon and lime zest, apple blossom, honey and toffee.
- Palate: Fruity, malty and gingery, with wild strawberry, vanilla shortbread, baking spices and honey.
- Finish: Light and fresh, with vanilla shortbread, citrus and a soft toasted oak spice.
For the perfect serve, enjoy Orchard House neat to appreciate its orchard-fresh clarity, or turn it into a vibrant highball with chilled soda water and a fresh apple slice.
