Compass Box No Name - No. 2 is a blended Scotch whisky built around smoky malt whisky, but presented in a more polished and approachable style than many heavily smoky drams. For a new drinker, expect peat smoke to be present without completely dominating the glass.
It sits in the blended Scotch category, which means different whiskies are combined to create a specific house style. The overall impression is smoky, layered, and balanced, making it a useful introduction to peated whisky beyond the most intense island styles.
