It's another sleepless night, so I decided to indulge in some whisky. Two of them, to be exact, both Compass Box. Starting with this amazing liquid. On the nose there is a light, delicate layer of honey, together with citrus peel, cloves, cinnamon and a strong oak note. It smells a lot sweeter than it tastes, but that is not a bad thing. The taste starts with some oranges and cinnamon, heavy cream with spices in it (oak, cloves....dash of pepper). No real sweetness, but to be fair, if I want sweet, bourbon, rum or sherry scotch it is. It's called spice tree after all, not sugar tree. The aftertaste stays very, very long, is quite creamy and bitter, with a very satisfying oak base layer. Now, I'm gonna finish this dram, and then I'm going on to the next one..Hedonism. See ya in a bit.

Nailed it.
This is a good one. I ranked it third of their 5 core range expressions, but that’s not really fair considering it’s going up against Peat Monster and Hedonism
Thanks! :)
Great review!
