A superb limited edition run from the great whisky innovators, John Glaser and his Compass Box company.
This release takes their already excellent Spice Tree release, and ramps up the flavour and quality considerably by adding a greater quantity of older, more heavily sherried malt whiskies. This produces a blended malt whisky which is high in chocolaty spice flavours and dried fruits.
A great winter dram, drinkers should expect the elegance associated with Compass Box releases, accompanied by tonnes of rich, toffee’d, sherried character, replete with dried fruit, spices and ripe tropical notes.
Another absolutely delicious dram, this whisky benefits from being bottled at 46% ABV, allowing the natural mouthfeel, aromas and flavours to take hold. It is bottled without chill filtration or artificial colouration.
As ever with Compass Box, the label has an incredible and intricate design, which is also replicated on the beautiful presentation tube that each bottle comes with.
