Here are two new reasons to drink blended scotch whisky
. According to the lead whiskymaker for this release, James Saxon, the flames aren’t just in the name. “Oak, smoke and fire reunite once again, fusing pyrotechnics with deliciousness,” he said in a statement. “As well as being the fruitiest Flaming Heart of recent years, we have brought in special remnant stocks of past releases for layers upon layers of smoke and French oak influence.”
The other new blend from Compass Box is called Ultramarine, part of a new series known as Extinct Blends Quartet. This expression is bottled at 51 percent ABV, and also non-chill filtered with no color added. The concept behind this was to explore how blends change over time—thefrom the 1970s, for example, might be very different from that of the 1990s. So this series is an attempt to capture the spirit of four different types of historic blends, with the first inspired by the late ’80s.
Flaming Heart 2022 will be available in a run of 9,606 bottles in November, and Ultramarine in a run of 5,430 in October. So if you haven’t explored the category before, all we are saying is give blends a chance.
