Compass Box Oak Cross

Vanilla, banana and coconut creme on the nose. Silken entry on the palate with vanilla, oak and spices. The medium length finish has some spice and dry oaky notes. There's some astringency throughout that holds this back from a better score.

Vanilla sweet nose. Buttered banana bread pallet. Salty finish

Smooth for a blend

Oaky and clean, deep flavors, what I look for in a Scotch

What a difference a day makes, or, in this case, four months. Four months ago I commented on Muncher's review of Oak Cross and how similar it is to Glenmorangie 10---I agreed. Today I had my first dram of Oak Cross from my nearly full bottle since that date. Wow, the time and a little breathing has really enriched this. Honey notes are much more distinct now and the softness of it in your mouth is nearing volumptousness. Not as fruity as the Glen 10, but really, really good.
