Not had any of these ones Jon, but from experience, I'm a fan of what Compass Box does. I'll go with your recommendation. Cheers brother.

The Peat Monster is certainly more gritty, but if you are interested in full fruit, even sweet fruit, this Orchard House is really good.

Eagerly waiting for my bottle of this. It will be interesting, my first blended malt... I only have Single Malt Scotch here (did get an Eagle Rare 10 a couple months ago... good bourbon, but still a bourbon), curious to see what a good blender can do.

Your notes are spot on with what I get out of CB Orchard House Jon. My bottle was opened in early spring and is now almost at the bottom. It's been very stable and still sugary but nothing that will wow you beyond the first few drams. I don't mind this one for spring and summer months -- very tropical and some mild oak nuances. I've had Timorous Beastie and that one was disappointing at the shoulder but eventually got better over time. I have had bottles of three out of six in this category so it comes down to between JW Green Label and Orchard House for me.

Thanks for the insight on Timorous Beastie, I was curious about that one. Orchard House is sweet for sure! Cheers!

Hello Jon. Always enjoy your reviews. I have three of the malts in the blended category and my favourite is the Thompson Bros SRV5. Before I tasted this I would have voted for Compass Box but the SRV5 just pips it for me. These guys in Dornoch, Scotland have put out some great whisky and continue to do so. See if you can get your hands on a bottle. 👍Howard

This is a tricky category. I really have no idea which whisky will win. I ended up voting JW green - it’s solid😊

JW is solid for sure and I probably like it more than Orchard House, but this bottle has finally found it's legs and I'm enjoying it.

Enjoy your family time! I’m not sure if the Orchard House would be my thing and even after you review I’m still not sure but you’ve made me warm up to the idea of purchasing it a little more especially with the pineapple note. Cheers!

I'm not sure it would be either. It is very sweet. Sugary almost. Still, it found its rhythm for me. Cheers!

Board games are still the best!! 😁 Keeping an eye out for this Compass Box should it miraculously appear at some point in the future. So many in the awards that we've never seen here. Simply voted for what I do know and like. Enjoy your time with your family, and a VERY well deserved day of rest...!!! 🥃🤗🥃 "m"e 🇨🇦

This year I became very enthousiastic about Compass Box, mostly because of reviews on the internet/KZitem and also because I love the labels of the different expressions. So about two months ago I ordered 5 different bottles of which I have up untill now I opened only the Orchard House. I am somewhat sorry to admit that I find it somewhat dissappointing because its too sugary for my taste. I'm crazy for all sorts of sugary liquers but with whiskies my taste is different. So I have to really do my best to finish this one. Maybe I will also shift if I let alone for some months. Thanks for your informative videos, I enjoy them very much.

This is certainly sweet, and at first that put me off. I hope it shifts for you too. That said, it is their sweetest release I think, so the rest should be good. I hope anyway, Thanks for sharing!

Whenever you don't like a bottle, give it time and get back to it. If it still doesn't work, blend it with something else, you may come up with something good (you could try going crazy and blending it with some dry and "salty" malt to see what you get. hmmm, this could be interested if mixed with a bit of Laphroaig 10 CS.

Strangely I got next to no fruit character out of my bottle of Orchard House. I have to be the only one. 😭 Very disappointing. Vanilla dominated it for me, and I don't know why. Still, it was reasonably priced, so it was worth the try. Cheers!

Hmm, that is very interesting. I agree with lots of vanilla, but certainly layers of sweet tropical fruits. Yes, good it did not break the bank. Have you had any of the others here?

Orchard House didn't do it for me... I voted for the JW Green Label and the Timorous Beastie.

JW Green was my second pick, but I have not had the Timorous Beastie. High ABV, so I'm interested, but tough to vote for what you have not had. Orchard House has clearly grown on me. It was too "perfumy" at first, but now, it's found it's rhythm. Good stuff for me.
