Tried Compass Box Flaming Heart?

What's this like? I'm considering picking the new v15 up as Caol Ila and Clynelish are 2 of my favorite distilleries... It's under $150 around here... I'm hesitating because I'm generally not a fan of blends.

Hi! I ordered a bottle straight away when they arrived. After trying it I ordered another one (despite the price tag). It is a stunningly good whisky. +90 points for me. I can say one of the best I've had! My suggestion: dont hesitate if you can afford it!

Btw: It is not a blended whisky in normal meaning. Its a blended malt (also known as vatted malt), which means that there is only malt whisky of good quality and no grain whisky.

@chrisbator if you can afford it I'd get this one straight away. Actually it's not too bad a price for the age of the whiskies in the bottle, certainly better value than the This is not a Luxury Whisky release. I wouldn't worry that I was getting a blend because John Glazer is a master of the craft ,in fact this could change your opinion on blended whiskies. By the way this is just a blend of well aged malts, there's no grain in it!

Another good Compass Box whisky worth trying is 'The Lost Blend'!
