Not much is revealed about this one for now. but I can say it's not bad, and feels like it has quite a lot of mid-age -> older Clynelish. and not surprising as Glaser loves Clynelish.
Nose: Red apple, and waxy notes (Did anyone say Clynelish? - very likely), light cereal, wood spices : some cinnamon and nutmeg, lovely oak , and a bit of wood varnish (some nicely aged malt for sure), musty dunnage warehouse if you give it some time.
Palate: Full bodied, and mouth-coating feeling, more of the red apple peel, malty and honeyed feeling, again that waxy Clynelish note is here, apple crumble, and wood.
Finish: Stewed apples, cereal and waxy apple peel and cinnamon.

Right? It seems like one could guess that just about any Compass Box release is half Clynelish and not be too far from the truth.
