Compass Box The Story of the Spaniard

(mf)

Delicious out the gate. Very ‘fruit forward’ with some very gentle smoke and a punch of acidity. Very happy with this bottle

Nose: honey, red wine, fruit cake, cinnamon, cantaloupe, pancake malt, fresh overripe figs, young dates, butterscotch / light vanilla, Taste: figs, pancake malt, parsley, sea salt, hint of the red wine, honey. Finish is long and spicy with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Burnt caramel. Similar to Jura but less malty and more fruity.

Sherry and peaty with that bang of bourbon
