> Distillery: Compass Box > > Product Line: - > > Product: Canvas > > Aged: Vino naranja and American oak > > Category: Blended > > Nose: Delicate custards and marmalade. A citrus of bitter sort, with under-ripe figs. > > Body: Rich honey over apricots and oranges. A light, English muffin sort of biscuit.

I'm glad to announce that Canvas breaks this pattern- in fact, there’s no sherry here at all! Just some Spanish orange wine, a beverage I didn’t even know existed until I picked up this bottle. It’s sweet and rich and creamy and endlessly drinkable, without that bitter or medicinal quality that can frequently come through with sherried casks. After such a fruit forward body, the malted finish is a welcome surprise as well. One of the best blended malts I’ve had in a while, though it is on the pricier side at ~$135.
