Compass Box The Story of the Spaniard

Fabric softener and herbs on the nose. A little time brings some underlying vanilla honey. Nutty, fruity on the palate.

A lot of sherry/wine dominant. Sweet, fruity, full body and rich with a little bit of a zest. Reminds me of a highland single malt sherry bomb mix with a green spot Irish. Delicious.

3.0 stars - Good; 750 ml bottle Yep. Sherried. Good, clean whiskey with a sherry finish. Good for educational purposes, but not a repeat purchase.

Reminds me old style sherry whisky Tasty and fruity

From the flagbearers of quality blends, the Story of the Spaniard is Compass Box's take on whiskies aged in Spanish wine casks. On the nose, orange jaffa cakes, toffee and ginger candies mingle with lemons, cinnamon and hints of leather. It's got depth without complexity, if you know what I mean. Rich, fruity and spicy, the palate continues with strawberries, honey and cloves, highlighting a lovely sweet and sour interplay. Dark chocolate, cherries and gentle spices conclude the herbal and slightly dry aftertaste. A perfect everyday dram, easy and quaffable. RATING: 3.7/5.0 stars ≙ 85 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE [+]
