Compass Box Spice Tree

A great selection when you want a shot with some attitude.

Cooked apple with cinnamon, sweet waxy pistachio, cornbread, thin on the palate with more cooked apple and pie crust, white pepper.

Nose first starts off with vanilla'd smashed and oxidized sweet apples (like a Fuji) but the vanilla grows and grows to almost smell like a well casked bourbon. Tastes of a stewed mulled apple cider with lots of vanilla, allspice, and cinnamon. Finishes with a mouthful of raisins and prunes. Well done, Compass Box.

Spicy and rich. Have yet to be disappointed by Compass Box

Spice Tree noses almost like a bourbon to me, which I love. Nose: dark, rich fruits, nutmeg, vanilla, butterscotch, oak Taste: very rich and oily, more candied sweetness that gives way to barrel char, spice and what I think is a hint of peat but that could just be from the Dailuane that’s supposedly in this. Finish: medium with a final flourish of honey Bourbon lovers will really like this unless they just hate scotch altogether. One of my favorite blends period. Each note stands out and is easy to find if you’re new to scotch.

Sample box. Drank immediately after Asyla and Oak Box...very similar to Oak Box. Watermelon, Fruit, more vanilla. Palate: definitely sharper with shorter finish than oak box, mild sweetness, not as okay. I think it's not as good as Oak Box by a dime
