Compass Box Spice Tree

Spicy and rich

Sweet and floral on the nose. Smooth going down, nice mellow peat. Taste it if you can

Aroma has elements of gingerbread cookie, not the dark molasses but clove and orange zest. Got some smoke on the taste. Spicy finish.

Tastes of citrus fruits and spices take center stage in this. Very smooth with just enough smoke to cut the sweetness and add an interesting finish. Solid choice for someone who drinks bourbon more often than scotch.

My generous, bourbon-drinking brother sent me this as a gift just before Christmas. It didn't last me very long. Extremely easy to drink. Think roasted as in walnuts. An excellent blended malt. Kind of like a pecan pie. Maybe some egg nog. The closest thing to bourbon, but still tastes very much like scotch. In fact, this would be a great one to get bourbon drinkers introduced to scotch. Don't worry if you don't like Bourbon. You will still like this. I agree with the flavor profile. Also, don't worry if you don't like the idea of "spice".. I never considered buying this for myself because I was worried about the name spice. Thought it meant clove, cinnamon, etc.. It's nothing like that. It is Very balanced and enjoyable and I think the fact my brother bought it for me, who happens to like Bourbon, is just a coincidence.
