43% abv Non-chill filtered Natural color Nose: Vanilla, and lots of it. Also cream soda, faint caramel and cola notes. Taste: rich, sweet and creamy, with a deep, delicate and decadent vanilla taking center stage. Also walnut/almond; tiramisu; graham cracker; coffee bean; nutmeg; touch of cinnamon and tapioca pudding. Finish: long and warming. Vanilla rides with you all the way to the end, along with a touch of dark chocolate, graininess, slight peppery barrel note and cinnamon apple cider. Value: $100. Worth it. Final thoughts: If you have a sweet tooth, this is the dram for you. This is a ”dessert whisky” at heart, but i find this enjoyable at any time. While not quite as interesting as it’s close (and cheaper) cousin The Spice Tree, this single grain blend from Compass Box is worth putting on your radar for the simple reason that it’s just so damn delicious. 4/5 Highly recommend buying a bottle
