Compass Box Spice Tree

I feel like this warrants closer to a four star rating, but it’s not quite a four for me, so... somehow marries both smoothness & intense spice (yep, cinnamon & white pepper). A bit of fruit on the nose, but more honey & vanilla on the palate - so probably closer to a Highland rather than an Irish as some have suggested, as there’s not much of that deep fruitiness you get with a decent Irish. Bloody good all up, but stylistically not what I’d typically go for, tbh

Wow, this is blowing me away at the moment, amazing flavor profile. A sweet nose with orange and citrus notes , again sweet on the palate and then followed by a huge hit of baking spices on the amazing finish. Unlike anything I have ever tried, amazing!! Cheers friends, well worth picking up this one!

The appeal of this blended Scotch comes down to two things: your thoughts on cinnamon and, quite simply, your tolerance of the idea that a blended malt can be exceptional. Single malt snobs need not apply, but if you can appreciate a blended malt, that is a whisky Blended exclusively of single malts, 3 in this case, all terrific in their own right, then you will probably love this. Great presentation at 46% and no color added. Nose is very herbal with hints of vanilla and oak between the sharp tinge of the spirit. It benefits from a teaspoon of water, which tames the cinnamon slightly, but be careful as it drowns easily. Pallette consists of an explosion of cinnamon upfront melding into vanilla and sharp oak, gram cracker, pepper with a satisfying finish that seems to linger longer than you would expect. I love this whisky but I have to be in the mood for it. Cinnamon is so abundant, that you must be a fan, or like me, someone who appreciates it at times. Overall, a great spirit and highly recommended.

Reminiscent of an Irish whiskey like Redbreast 12 or an American Rye. Heavy spice balanced out with fruits with a lingering oak barrel note on the finish.
