Bottled at 49% ABV, it is non-chill-filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend is built around Clynelish matured in second-fill American oak barrels, with Benrinnes from first-fill bourbon barrels, Speyburn from refill American oak hogsheads and a touch of old Ardbeg from re-charred American oak. Custom American oak barrels from the Independent Stave Company in Missouri bring sweet, crackling toffee flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLayers of vanilla custard, scorched sugar and freshly opened vanilla pods lead the way, with tarte Tatin, nectarine, burnt toffee and Danish pastry, with crème caramel, brandy snaps, red apple, praline and speculoos biscuits, and a long, elegant finish of vanilla, caramelised sugar and soft spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in an ornate box illustrating a grand palace kitchen, it is a superb gift for dessert and whisky lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat after dinner, as dessert in a glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrème brûlée, the custard with a crackling caramelised sugar crust, became a celebrated dessert in French court cuisine, and Compass Box set out to capture its contrasts of cream, vanilla and burnt sugar in whisky. As with every Compass Box release, the recipe is published in full, in keeping with the blender's commitment to transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla custard, scorched sugar, tarte Tatin and nectarine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt toffee, crème caramel, red apple and praline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with vanilla, caramelised sugar and soft spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compass Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, limited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brûlée Royale, 25th anniversary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98 proof (49% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e American oak: second-fill, first-fill bourbon, refill hogsheads, re-charred, custom ISC barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat, ideally alongside crème brûlée or a caramel dessert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the blend?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClynelish, Benrinnes, Speyburn and a touch of Ardbeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it chill-filtered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is non-chill-filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is bottled at 49% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Compass Box","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023260086581,"sku":"VWS200434305","price":142.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-8292.webp?v=1793653159","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/compass-box-brulee-royale-blended-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
