The Spice Tree brings rich spice notes and intensity to the range of Compass Box Scotch whiskies. This whisky has always been about one thing: oak-derived spice, fuelled by our very own hybrid-cask program.
PROCESS
Aged on heavy toasted, new French oak sourced from 195 year-old Vosges forests and fashioned into our own bespoke hybrid casks.
FLAVOUR
The nose suggests clove, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is full, round and sweet, with the spice and vanilla following and complimenting the core distillery characters.
A LONG TIME AGO, WE CREATED A RICH, BOLD SCOTCH WHISKY CALLED THE SPICE TREE.
Unfortunately, due to its avant garde method of oak-aging, Compass Box were compelled by the powers that be to discontinue production.
Undeterred, they worked with their cooper friends in both France and Scotland to develop a new, hybrid oak cask that would allow them to achieve similar results, but in a way that would be acceptable to even the most conservative of observers.
Et voila, The Spice Tree was resurrected – matured using a custom-made cask with French oak for the heads and American oak for the bodies.
The Spice Tree is a rich, intense malt whisky redolent of baking spices and layered with toasty oak accents that complement the underlying distillery character.
