The third and final release from Compass Box’s Myths & Legends series, created to debunk the, well, myths and legends surrounding Scotch whisky. Myths & Legends III was designed to challenge the notion that whisky from celebrated and renowned distilleries is too precious to blend. So, parcels of malt whisky used in Myths & Legends II have been added to peated malt whiskies from a pair of celebrated island distilleries, namely Highland Park and Caol Ila. The 4,564 rather striking bottles were released in 2019 at 46% ABV.

Other Scotch Whisky
Nose: Banana milkshake, crème brûlée and condensed milk balanced by floral honey, bonfire ash and a hint of maritime smoke.
Palate: More tropical fruit, with tinned pineapple, more banana and butterscotch, a touch of apricot and charred wood.
Finish: Smoke remains with juicy berries and a prickle of oak spice.
