I cannot think of any whisky more appropriately named. The spice tree delivers spice, spice, and more spice. The nose is, as you’d expect, full of spices. If your mother dropped her spice rack on the floor and broke all the containers, I’d imagine it would have a similar fragrance. The dominate aromas are clove and cinnamon. The palate is spicy and complex with ginger taking over the dominate flavor. There is some toffee behind those spices. A few drops of water open up those complex flavors making them more palatable. The finish is long with orange peel and pepper on your tongue. This scotch will clear up your sinuses. This is a great scotch but be warned, it may not be for beginners. Some scotches are peat monsters, but this is a spice monster! It’s also worth noting, the bottle has some great artwork which blends beautifully with the color of the whisky. Very good looking bottle.
