Compass Box Spice Tree – 70cl
Compass Box was founded in 2000 by John Glaser in London — bringing a wine-world approach to Scotch whisky: radical transparency about ingredients, non-chill filtration, natural colour, and a willingness to blend grain and malt in new ways. Now one of the most respected blending houses in the world. Compass Box's Spice Tree is built around extra spice — using French oak staves inside traditional barrels (a technique Compass Box pioneered) to maximise the contribution of toasted French oak, producing a whisky of unusual warmth, richness, and vanilla spice. Non-chill filtered, natural colour. Available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance : Old gold.
Nose : Rich and deep. Notes of cereal and ripe fruit (apple, pear). A succession of spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), dried fruit (almond, apricot) and candied citrus fruit (grapefruit, lemon) enveloped in noble wood and beeswax.
Palate : Balanced, enveloping. Its fruity (mirabelle plum, plum) sweetness is tangible. Forgotten, the relative dryness of the nose, the bitterness of the malted barley, reappears. But, apart from bringing a touch of green, it has almost no real influence. Vanilla
ABV 46%
