SPICE TREE, COMPASS BOX, 46% ABV

The Spice Tree is an expression created that focuses on rich spice notes and intensity. This whisky has always been about one thing: oak-derived spice, fuelled by Compass Box's very own hybrid-cask program. With several components aged on heavy toasted, new French oak sourced from 195 year-old Vosges forests and fashioned into bespoke hybrid casks, the Spice Tree inherits deep spice-like flavours. 

Components include separate highland blended malts, Balmenach and Glen Moray.

Tasting Notes

Baking spice notes such as clove and ginger surround a core of fruity maltiness.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
