Compass Box Spice Tree

I just opened this bottle a few weeks ago so I will revisit the score but it’s good stuff. This whiskey is like eating a Twix bar and drinking a spiced tea while sitting in a lumber yard. You really need to like oak to enjoy this one because it has a strong presence. I like this profile; when done right it can result in a fun, playful whiskey. It reminds me a lot of the wood influence you get on PNW American Single Malts (Westland, Westward, Wanderback, etc), which I believe all use Oregon White Oak. It’s rich and spicy with a medium-long finish. And good value for the money.

Clove comes in heavily and the slice doesn't dissatisfy

Upon opening reminiscent of makers 47 and glen signant, full of spice some smoothness with a slight unrefined burn. Some cinnamon oak vanilla with prominent notes of black licorice in the finish. This whisky does smooth out the lower the bottle get and when it’s the last dram you really want another bottle.
