Compass Box Spice Tree

Wow, really surprised how good this is. Might be just me but the nose is unremarkable. The taste though... smooth, spicy (obviously), dried fruit sweet, and a bit floral. Really nice!

​ Woody but light, honey and flowers, surprising balance and depth (especially compared to the Peat Monster.

Utterly irresistible. Dusty old books Warm buttery vanilla Little hints of marzipan Mild orange zest Gentle sweet caramelized pork skin Honey-roasted nuts Spicy cedar and cloves A full & intense experience from nose to finish. Reminders of all the romance that beguiled me into this damned Scotch rabbit-hole in the first place. A new favorite (I’ve already picked up an “Extravaganza” bottling to squirrel away). Dry glass: beloved petrichor.
