Compass Box Oak Cross

My first impression drinking this with Cascode remains. This is a loverly expression of wood and how it can be expressed in whisky. There is an understated elegance here that can be so easily overlooked. The nose is vanilla, subtle wood and bananas. The taste is light bodied fruit and oak tannin - finish is light spice. Smooth and clean as we've come to expect from Compass Box. Its overshadowed by its bigger dare I say brasher brothers and sisters in the Compass Box range. This is not a dram to compare but to savour. If you want to do some trainspotting best not stop here. Loverly stuff and kind of unique. I first gave this 3 stars but by the end of the glass I raised this 4 stars and 92.

Light caramel notes, not too hot, but a bit thin.
