Tasting Notes

Appearance
The whisky pours into the glass with a luminous golden hue, displaying both its maturity and the quality of the oak casks in which it was aged.

Nose
The initial aroma is redolent of baking spices—think nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. However, give it a moment to breathe, and you'll discover a richer tapestry of dried fruits, honey, and vanilla lingering underneath.

Palate
First impressions on the palate mirror the nose, as robust spices dominate. Soon, however, these spicy notes give way to softer elements of oak, dark chocolate, and stewed fruits. There’s a richness that recalls the sweetness of caramel, balanced expertly by a hint of herbal bitterness.

Finish
The finish is impressively long, evolving from its initial spicy warmth into a gentle, lingering taste of oaky vanilla and a touch of dried citrus peel.

Pairing Suggestions

For a whisky of such complex flavors, simpler food pairings work best to let the whisky take center stage. Think mild cheeses, almonds, or even a simple vanilla dessert to complement its spicy and sweet nuances.

Embrace the full gamut of spices and complexities that Compass Box The Spice Tree has to offer. From its innovative cask treatment to its intricate flavors, this whisky stands as a testament to what expert blending can achieve. Third Base Market & Spirits invites you to explore this culinary voyage in a bottle—a must-have for every discerning whisky palate.
