Whiskey Review: Flaming Heart - Compass Box Whisky

Today we taste and review Flaming Heart from Compass Box Whisky.

[@andrewbgood4357]

I believe that Rex and Zirpoli are locked in an eternal death battle like Tom and Jerry. Happy Holidays to all the Magnificent Bastards and the Tribe.

[@christinavanness7697]

Just reliving the moment i thought Red was going to keel over. Love and miss you guys 😂🥰

[@zackzenron]

Merry Christmas Daniel and Rex, the two guys who made it to where all my gifts this year are whiskey related.

[@JimmyLeg]

Merry Christmas Danny and Dufus. Another great year of whisky fun has been had. Can you believe how far this thing has come? Amazing.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I really can’t. It’s almost like a whole new family. You guys are amazing. Cheers to you and yours.

[@Markus_Heinonen]

Merry Christmas!!!! 👋🎅🥃

[@Mose2305]

Yes the Swedish Christmas dinner in a mattress fort sounds decadent, but only with an exceptional dram like a 32 year old Red Breast. Cheers Daniel and Rex and very Merry Christmas to you and your families!

[@dylannorthrup5439]

I just bought a bottle of this... it may just have to be my Christmas Eve dram! Such a beautiful bottle.

[@Zyrkseas]

this episode will always be special to me because the next morning I awoke to my own Flaming Heart from "Santa"

[@Robert.Sheard]

Favorite Christmas Eve tradition is Iceland’s Jolabokaflod (book flood). They exchange books and read while drinking hot chocolate. Substitute a Compass Box and it’s perfect.

[@joshshoup7051]

2 MBs for the price of 1. As an orphan this is the best gift ever.

[@JonGardner]

Flaming Heart was one of my inspirations for the Magnificus Rex bottle design

[@yura37]

I was pretty disappointed with this years flaming heart. The flavors felt like they were fighting each other more than adding to each other. Not a bad whisky but not as good as their other releases by far. Happy to see you guys review this one. Merry Christmas!

[@mikeb4469]

Daniel, we have raclette and fondu every Christmas and/or New Years Eve. We use baguette bread instead of potatoes though. Cheers!

[@brianknotts5972]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays

[@christinavanness7697]

So worth the fucking wait. You guys are awesome!

[@adolfohz]

Merry Christmas!

[@jcfernandez9193]

Awesome! All hail The Zirpoli

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

That’s only 3 months of Patreon. You got this.

[@rosscarballo3162]

I'd like to believe that stockings at Rex's house are just tube socks duct taped above the fireplace. Gotta say, that fort idea is amazing! Now, what's a good pillow fort whiskey? 🤔 Merry Christmas Eve, you magnificent bastards! (And a super late Happy Hanukkah as well)

[@brandenrisser6392]

Merry Christmas Eve you Magnificent Bastards!

[@MkUltra75]

Yeah, Raclette is a perfect Christmas Meal, greetings from Switzerland

[@markusthuresson7866]

Do you have a system from keeping all the open bottles in the vault from staying open for to long? Thinking you have a few of them 😊 happy holidays

[@chrisuhland2893]

The Zirpoli has been Bastardized ( that sounds off ).

[@christinavanness7697]

I'm official now.. I guess 😂

[@joebloggins]

WTF, you are an hour earlier than usual, keep SOME consistency, also I had this at a premium spirit release event my government liqour store puts on, so I technically mooched it, but I bought a bottle of sexton while I was there, so not really.

[@The4Wills]

If I were to say dream and have a sip a day of something different every day, what year would I have tried THE VAULT? Ya could have at least tried Zirpolis contribution

[@sergantgrunt1650]

In this episode you opened a 3 year opened bottle how do you preserve your whiskey& Bourbon

[@cptcaps2405]

You need to install an airplane-style emergency slide on the outside of the vault to safe it all^^ merry Christmas from Germany

[@skatingjoe87]

+1 for Raclette Daniel. That's a family tradition for us too.

[@CameronYeager]

Now we need to see a tribe episode where they throw stunt whiskey bottles out the window and see what survives. Also Merry Christmas!

[@Guentzel]

You should set up an above ground pool outside that window.. for the Whisk(e)y to splash down into! ;)

[@markvironda]

Guitars for sure

[@sanecrazy12]

Have a Merry Christmas to all the Magnificent Bastards!!!! Oh and Rex Too lol

[@gman5986]

Can anyone tell me how this bottle of Flaming Heart I can buy @ $130 US compares to Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Uigeadail I just purchased at $75 and $60 ? Is it twice as good as these?

[@mastermattk]

Your case old Longmorn 16...?

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

🎅 🎄 HAVE A MAGNIFICENT BASTARD CHRISTMAS ! 🎄 🎅 Love me some Compass Box, the buster of the myth that "blends aren't as good as single malts".

[@thewhiskybowman]

I bought a couple of bottles of the 2015 Flaming Heart for £70 each (I still have 1 unopened) but the 2018 is, as you said, not as good and costs around £120. The 2015 was definitely worth what I paid but the 2018, In my opinion, is not worth anything like what it is currently going for.

[@newtduke420]

My tradition is to drink Christmas Eve but have engagements next three days culminating and finishing on whisky Wednesday, merry Christmas to all salute

[@newtduke420]

Thanks whiskey vault

[@hombreleon]

The reason we love Rex summed up in these 10 seconds. 6:30. 😂

[@mwallace021]

Any chance of reviewing the Pogues Irish whiskey? Maybe you could invite Shane McGowan as a guest. As long as he doesn't drink all the whiskey in the vault.

[@donclark4568]

Anyone here tried the old mortlach 18 with the metal bits at the bottom of the bottle? I have the 16 year old distillers dram but I keep hearing the 18 was way better

[@williamdavelaar]

I found the sixteen to be better. Just my preference.

[@khicks72]

I just had an image of an insurance agent looking in the vault, blanching, and fainting dead away.

[@ImJustADave]

The only Compass Box I've had was Hedonism, and so far it is the best whiskey I've ever had.

[@kesfitzgerald1084]

Mate, try The Lost Blend, you will not be disappointed

[@lvcsslacker]

ooo... rachlette cheese... yum.

[@groenejw]

What guitars Daniel? Also, what was your band called?

[@christinavanness7697]

You can find him on Spotify "Daniel Whittington".. I think the only album there is *Bring the Dark*

[@andrewwatts5111]

Merry Christmas to all of Magnificent Bastards

[@richardarmitage5976]

Petina is a cool word.

[@caskstrength7629]

Maybe one day I will send you guys a Dutch Whisky. 😉.

[@ShivasIrons22]

But which one guitar gets saved Daniel?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I only keep my acoustic guitar at the house. An Alvarez Yairi purchased when I was 15. Almost Every single song I’ve ever written on that guitar

[@sanecrazy12]

Whiskey Vault Great Guitars!! I bought my son one for Christmas a few years back. He loves it! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. OH AND REX TOO!! Bahahaha

[@solan417]

Daniel can we ever get a video talking guitar ?.....oh yeah hi Rex.

[@Preussenpenner]

That would be great tbh

[@solan417]

My two favorite shows on KZbin are The Whisk(e)y Vault and That Pedal Show. Besides the info it's their Personalities and I'd dig watching Daniel talk guitar shop.

[@stanislavmigra]

Yes, Daniel, next dry week make guitar video. Btw do you have a Les Paul?

[@awkwardme5375]

Merry Christmas Daniel and Rex! I just wanted to ask... We're all still invited over to you and your wife's house, to drink whisk(e)y and watch The Lord of the Rings, right? I recall a very clear and lucid offer you made to all of us, during a particular live stream, so I'll show up around noon. You didn't mention a limit on guests, so I'll be bringing a small group of about 34 friends, acquaintances, and a guy who sleeps behind the dumpster by my local Walmart, with me. If you could have the whisky all set up and ready for everyone, that would make the mooching considerably easier. Also, none of us will be bringing food, so if you could make arrangements for that as well, it would be vaguely appreciated. Oh, and since we're traveling pretty far, we're probably gonna need to crash at your place for the night. Thanks in advance for your hospitality, and your wonderful, generous, and kind offer. I can't wait! See you soon. One more thing, and it's really nothing... the guy who sleeps behind the Walmart dumpster - he has a pet squirrel named Garbanzo. It's not actually a real squirrel. It's a basalt rock he keeps in his burlap sack. If you could just...play along with it, that would be great. He's very protective of Garbanzo, and gets easily offended when people try to tell him it's a rock. Anyway, no biggie. We'll have a blast. Happy Christmas, Dan. Cilantro!

[@thespiritmonkey9956]

The Spirit Monk[e]y would save the Monkey Shoulder... because... logic.

[@checkoutthatthing]

Rex is a stocking whiskey.

[@koffernageln]

"happy" holidays

[@miclb28]

Christina Zirpoli Finally!! In lights!! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊

[@christinavanness7697]

Chad made my splash screen awesome... Fucking love it!

[@henryprater703]

Christina Zirpoli sheer magnificence

[@kendoWTL]

Ya did it champ, ya did it.

[@JimmyLeg]

Special Merry Christmas to you CZ. Have a great one.

[@OffGridandWhiskey]

150,000 subcribers for Christmas?

[@joshheadley4941]

lmao, Merry Christmas you Magnificent Bastards!

[@gman5986]

Happy Holidays you magnificent bastards! By the way how many bottles do you have in your collection??

[@SuperScoooty]

Zirpoli wouldn't give up an Ardbeg

[@brianolsen396]

Do they still do reviews for whiskey they bought? Or do they just do donations now? Not angry just jealous

[@WhiskeyVault]

We’re about six months behind getting caught up on donated whiskeys. The grand opening of the distillery is really what pushed us over the edge. You magnificent bastard‘s are freakishly generous.

[@troelsm.c.3690]

just watched this one, and im impressed how you can use 13 min and not speaking about the whisky.

[@user-oh6zt4is5u]

😏👌

[@stevengrant4687]

Forget the kids, save the guitars and whiskey. Google, I think we need a magnificent bastard label, wolf, bear, and eagle. You can make that $65,000 check out to me anytime. You're welcome.

[@kghostone]

You see Rex, Daniel has to literally offer you your mooching because you are to lazy to ask. The Mooch is dead, long live the Somm.

[@TheMarkRich]

Why is Rex wearing a priest's hat?

[@christinavanness7697]

Because I'm slowly corrupting him...? One can hope...

[@l1u2k0e3]

Best whisky to spike eggnog, go

[@The2Percent]

Yes

[@meesternibbles]

High rye bourbons, they'll hold up to the eggnog richness

[@williamdavelaar]

Michters or eagle rare.

[@meesternibbles]

How about a toast gentlemen? Had to put my amazing cat, Tek (tech) down this morning. Cheers to all our amazing house companions, current and lost. Pets are an amazing blessing.

[@WhiskeyVault]

So sorry friend. Peace to you and yours

[@hank6887]

Merry Christmas you bastards lol
