A Groundbreaking Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
 
Compass Box Flaming Heart, first released in 2006, has become a landmark offering in the world of Scotch whisky. Known for its pioneering approach that first combined the rich spice of Scotch aged in new French oak with the deep, peaty smoke of Islay malt, Flaming Heart introduced a bold, genre-defying style to the whisky world. The sixth edition of Flaming Heart continues this tradition of innovation, blending complexity and fiery spirit.
 
2018 Edition - Enriched Complexity
 
The 2018 release of Flaming Heart reintroduces an elegant sherry cask influence, adding layers of richness and complexity to the whisky’s profile. This edition is crafted with meticulous care by Lead Whiskymaker John Glaser, ensuring a blend that respects its roots while introducing new dimensions of flavor.
 
Tasting Notes
 
Color: Natural, reflecting the pure essence of the whisky without artificial coloring.
Nose: The smoky-peaty base of Flaming Heart is immediately present, enveloped by a sweet maltiness that brings to mind cozy evenings by the fire. The aromatics are further enriched by hints of baking spices and a subtle dried fruit sweetness, reminiscent of a well-aged sherry influence.
Palate: A robust interplay of flavors greets the palate, where the medium peat smoke is beautifully balanced with sweet malty notes. The spice of new French oak intertwines with sherry-induced notes of dried fruits, creating a complex and layered drinking experience.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with persistent smoky notes and a rich, spicy undertone that lingers pleasantly, inviting another sip.
 
Perfect Pairing
 
Flaming Heart is ideally enjoyed late into the night, perfect for savoring neat or alongside a selection of rich cheeses that complement its smoky and spicy character.
 
Craftsmanship and Quality
 
Bottled at 48.9% and not chill-filtered to maintain its full body and texture, Flaming Heart offers a whisky experience that is both authentic and unadulterated.
