Compass Box - Spice Tree Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
A long time ago, we created a rich, bold Scotch whisky called The Spice Tree.
Unfortunately, due to its avant garde method of oak-aging, we were compelled by the powers that be to discontinue production.
Undeterred, we worked with our cooper friends in both France and Scotland to develop a new, hybrid oak cask that would allow us to achieve similar results, but in a way that would be acceptable to even the most conservative of observers.
Et voila, THE SPICE TREE was resurrected – matured using a custom-made cask with French oak for the heads and American oak for the bodies.
THE SPICE TREE is a rich, intense malt whisky redolent of baking spices and layered with toasty oak accents that complement the underlying distillery character.
Nose: Fragrant and aromatic with notes of dried herbs, spices, oak and vanilla. Has a bourbon note to it and a peppery tang.
Palate: Gingernut biscuits, toffee spices, herbal, vanilla, very rich and peppery.
Finish: Very spicy, big and rich.
