    Such a nice dynamic between you two but I would guess it will end in beers. : ) Or a little smoothie to sort your palate out, only messing lads good reviews are hard to find. I'm sure it went down well.

    WOW, it sounded so good but over 300? I was thinking 150 to 200 because it was Compass Box. For the actual scotch in the bottle = 100 to 150.

      It’s a high price that’s why I’m online with 150 to 200. Dustin Lives Compass Box

    I forgot to add i had side-by-side at a tasting with the dalos and ultramarine
    And the dalos (which was good )was underwhelming compared to the ultra marine, which was one sip I was hooked and immediately i wanted to get a Bottle
    So, if you like this bottle, ultramarine will blow your mind IMO in the extinct series

      Sadly I passed, but if a sample makes it our way, we'll try and get up a review. It's getting expensive out here, gotta be selective.

      I knew the 40K Compass Box was going to be good. Roboute Guilliman approves.

    I hope you bought the new Clynelish 11 CS single cask from Elixir for $100-ish. Only about 200 bottles for U.S. and who can't complain about the price and you know it's good coming from Elixir at a good price. this is flying under the radar and nobody knew it was released. There is plenty of it around on sites and $100 is the cheapest I have seen it.

    Here in the UK we can still pick up stunning single cask 21-25 year old Imperial bottlings for less so I am struggling to pull the trigger on this one!

    Sounds interesting. The mix of malts sounds delicious. But IMO, I think CB bottles are overpriced. I would be interested if it was $200. Great review.

    Hey guys, trying to decide between Delos and Ultramarine. I’m a big fan of Hedonism.

      @topshelfdustin3060 I've not tried it either, but it seems like it might be good. There's one on the shelf at this store, and if I'm reading the date on the label correctly it's all the way back from 2011 so maybe that would be an opportunity to taste some old bottle effect.

    After enjoying several Compass Box bottlings I can say they are generally good and well blended whiskies. But the prices never can be justified in my opinion.

      They used to be a consistent "winner" at every price. It seems after the stupid ruling about The Spice Tree and the years they spent recovering from that, they're much more expensive and not nearly as good/interesting/experimental with their blends.

      @@Tawnos_ I'm not sure about a lack of experimenting or being interesting. I think the biggest issue comes down to simply they can't get access to the same quality casks at the same price anymore. Too many barrel investors competing for product now days.

    Great review guys, I think I may skip this one. Have you had the Compass Box Delilah’s XXV by any chance? Wondering if that’s worth a pick up.
