The Spice Tree Compass Box 46% vol. 0.7l - old design

Compass Box was founded in 2000 by John Glaser.
The idea of creating a whiskey to the taste of the customer is as simple as it is ingenious.
Compass Box Whiskeys are Blends and Vatted Malts and Grains!
The bottlings are without exception small runs, so-called "small batches".
Compass Box buys self-selected barrels of various distilleries and combines whiskeys, as you know it from any conventional blend or Vatted.
The results are impressive, with many critics and journals praising Compass Box as the most innovative whiskey blender in Scotland.
At the "International Wine & Spirit Competition" the blend "Asyla" won gold!

THE AWARD WINNER MALT OF COMPASS BOX!

The Spice Tree is a deliciously spicy, rich Vatted Malt Whiskey.
The Vatted is a pure Highland Malt, except distilleries from the northern Highlands are represented, mainly from the village of Brora.
The first bottling is once again the Spice Tree, a wholly-owned malt whiskey. The first ripening takes place in a mix of first-fill and refill barrels made of American oak.

The difference is made by the second ripening, this time no inner staves are used as in the first Spice Tree, but heavily toasted barrels made of French oak. The bottom and lid of the barrels give the strong roasting a pronounced taste profile of the whiskey. The second erection lasts two years.

All Compass Box fillings are not cool filtered and have no dyes.

Tasting Notes:
Great sweetish aromas of clove, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Full on the palate, round and sweet with the spicy notes and vanilla, which emphasizes the distillery's character and offers a long finish.
