Paid $35 for this bottle. This is a bottle kill review. I will try to summarize what this bottle offered. I found this on sale. The normal price will be around $40-60. This is a decent whisky. I would get it again if I can find it for $40 or less. Otherwise, for entry level Compass Box, I would stick with their King Street offerings. For a few bucks more, Spice Tree is great. Nose: young, fruity and floral. A tad too much acetone. Yes, there is oak. Palate: malty, orchard fruits. In the back, there is some older stuff adding a delicate oily hibiscus. Yes, there is oak. Finish: spiciness picks up. Pretty standard. Cloves and cinnamon. Light honey and citrus. Yes, there is oak. Pros: You get a lot of complexity for the price Cons: The oak is actually not what unbalances this; it’s that too-young acetone note. Slightly cheaper, similar profile, and recommended: Deanston Virgin Oak Slightly costlier, similar profile, and recommended: Balvenie 12 year Single Barrel First Fill Final Mark: 79/100 (range 77-82.
