Compass Box Brûlée Royale 49% 6 CL Sample

0.06 liter 49%

A straightforward Crème Brulée, opening with Danish custard and crispy sugar. The palate is full of clotted cream, honey malt, and roasted peaches, followed by custard and tarte tatin. Panna cotta and mild nutmeg spice, followed by silky Jersey milk, toasted sugar, and banana split.

Compass Box continues its pastry adventures with Brûlée Royale, a blend of Clynelish fruit and Benrinnes custard at a silky-smooth 49% ABV. Remarkably regal for American oak. The sheen and texture of the Speyburn, matured significantly in recharred casks, caramelize perfectly in a sweet layer of sugar.

Suitable for anyone with a royal appetite, this Brûlée combines the silky vanilla custard notes of malt whiskies matured in ex-bourbon casks with sweet, crisp toffee flavours drawn from specially crafted American oak casks.

Just as Massialot stoked the flames at Versailles to achieve the perfect caramelized crust, our friends at the Independent Stave Co. cooperage in Missouri use computer-controlled toasting and charring techniques to extract extraordinary flavors from American white oak with great precision.

Like the sugar on a perfect crème brûlée, this whisky testifies to the power of fire to create an enchanting sweetness.
