Smell
On the nose, the Artist Blend reveals an enticing mix of fruity and sweet notes. Fresh apples and pears dominate, accompanied by hints of ripe peaches. Subtle nuances of coconut and butter biscuit lend a creamy sweetness to the bouquet. Touches of salted caramel, cereal, honey, cotton candy, and vanilla round out the aroma profile.
Taste
On the palate, the whisky is exceptionally creamy and mild. The vanilla notes harmonize with light fruit nuances, while a subtle spiciness and cereal elements provide balance. A hint of toffee and exotic passion fruit enrich the flavor profile.
Finish
The finish is pleasantly long, emphasizing the spicy components. Lovely oak notes, paired with cardamom, leave a slightly warming sensation.

The Compass Box Artist Blend proves to be the perfect introduction to the world of whisky. Its soft, creamy texture, fruity aromas, and subtle oak spice offer a solid foundation of what whisky can offer without overwhelming the palate. For connoisseurs, the puristic simplicity of this blend is convincing, once again showcasing Compass Box's high artistry in creating premium blends.
