A blended malt whisky created by Compass Box, distinguished by its vivid fruitiness, bright character, and gentle malt sweetness. It is one of the most lively expressions from this independent Scottish whisky maker, crafted from several exceptional Highland and Speyside single malts to capture the essence of orchard fruit and freshness.
The whisky’s core is built on Linkwood, Clynelish, Benrinnes, and other light-style malts, matured in first-fill bourbon casks. These casks preserve the natural fruit character of the distillates, giving Orchard House its clean, elegant, and vibrant profile, free from smoke or heavy oak influence.
The nose reveals ripe pears, apples, peaches, and citrus fruits, complemented by honey, vanilla, and delicate floral notes. The aroma is fresh, refined, and inviting.
On the palate, it is light, smooth, fruity, and harmonious, offering layers of pear, apple tart, honey, vanilla cream, and citrus zest. The texture is silky and refreshing, while the finish is medium in length, malty, gently sweet, with hints of orange peel and almonds.
A modern, elegant, and approachable whisky, perfectly suited for both experienced enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Orchard House stands out for its vibrant fruit character and delicate balance, reflecting Compass Box’s creative vision of contemporary Scotch whisky craftsmanship.
