Compass Box Spice Tree

For the price, this is superb. Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Baking spices with some nice malty and caramel notes. Not terribly complex, but as far as blends go, its very enjoyable. Almost reminiscent of a bourbon or rye. Would be an excellent choice for someone who doesn't like smoky and peaty scotch and doesn't want to go with something that'll break the bank. A solid 'daily drinker'.

Great complexity, especially for the price. On the nose, it leans toward a bourbon profile, with honeyed caramel and vanilla. On the palate, it changes course a bit, tasting more malty and sort of Irish. The transition between the two is pretty seamless. The finish then brings a chocolate-covered raisin note, more reminiscent of a sherry influence. It lingers just a little and dissipates without a lot of fuss. Well balanced, medium-bodied, and agreeable — the perfect Scotch to share with neophytes and other non-enthusiasts.

It's delicious, very naughty indeed, can't imagine any scotch drinker not liking this tasty liquid

Appearance is gorgeous gold. Nose: Christmas spices, rich, chocolate? vanilla, berries. Palate: spice, oaky malt, dried fruit. Body: thick. Finish: oak with barely any bitterness, warm, spicy, long. Yummy. Overall: rich & spicy.

Spice tree, indeed. A lot going on with this one. Spicy up front, vanilla/sweet, then oak/clove in the finish. Easy to drink neat. Not sure I’d go out of my way to buy it, but definitely memorable and enjoyable, and worth picking up if I saw a good deal.

Nose: light brown sugar; a little alcohol burn; nutmeg; Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Palate: like sliced red apples dusted with cinnamon and sugar. Really nice. Long finish with some oak coming into the picture. Dangerously smooth and drinkable. A little water (though not needed) brings out flavors of shortbread cookie dough.
