Compass Box The Story of the Spaniard

Olorosso Sherry influence followed by gentle spice and earthiness. This is fantastic

Another solid release from Compass Box. This one is all about the fruit. I just wish it was a little bit bigger and bolder.

As always a quality drop from CB. You really get the aberlour flavor profile coming through. Honey, golden syrup, spice, ginger, orange peel on the palate... nose has sherry, raisin, caramel coming through. It runs hot and you get slight bitter astringency (again an arberlour trait) along for the ride as well which takes it down a notch and mars the aftertaste. All in all nice drop.

Figs, honey, and dates up front. Such a good mouth feel. Bit of Smokey spice mid palate, Chocolate finish that last a long time. This is a blend done right
