Compass Box Spice Tree

Not much for blended scotch but this is the best one I’ve owned. Very smooth, with tasty caramel and vanilla tones.

Very nice - well balanced and rounded, rich mouth/taste, classic speyside nose, rich toasted oak, sweet and sour contrast, some floral and spice - pepper, clove, fruit -apricot, vanilla on the end, overall just nice balance - great for the price

Spicy and sweet, very vanillish, with an ever-so-light touch of smoke.

nose: warming spices, oak, caramel sweetness, herbal quality palate: immediate spices and sweetness which becomes pungent, creamy texture finish: long, spicy, later on warming, drying dark chocolate remains longer delicious and in line with the name. delivers feeling that reminds me a bit like rye whiskies

At first deep dried fruits jumped out from the glass as soon as i lifted it up to my nose, but as i buried my nose deeper, peppery gingery cinnamony notes came alive - hence the name - and as i let it settle down, it became a little softer not as punchy as it was on the first whiff. As this has been sitting here for around 10 mins now, i smell baked granny smith apples, but it is softer, like it was baked in cream. Quite interesting, very voloptuous Very nice sweet and spicy arrival with vanilla, pleasant oak bitterness, little biz of black pepper (maybe, that could be just the 46%) and something that remind me of very slight smokyness, but definetly not peat smoke. Grain wax or oilyness, and more vanilla but slightly metallic Very pleasant experience
