Mina kommentarer:
En vatted malt whisky från Compass Box. En speciell upplevelse. John Glaser har verkligen lyckats att få den "spicy". Har en ton av chili och det har jag inte känt i en whisky tidigare. Behöver provas vid fler tillfällen. Min poäng: 83 p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Type: Vatted Malt. A blend of single malts from different distilleries.
Tasting Notes: A natural, deep mahogany colour and a rich nose with spices such as clove and nutmeg, and sweet stewed fruits. Palate is soft, sweet, deep and rich with a malt whisky fruitiness embellished by rich spice. Very long.
Lead Distilleries: Dailuaine, Teaninich and two other malt whiskies distilled in the villages of Brora and Longmorn.
Casks: 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels and first-fill, recharred American oak hogsheads for the primary maturation. A portion of the whisky goes through a secondary maturation on new (virgin) French Sessile oak that has been given a heavy toast. This oak is slow-growth and air-seasoned for 24 months prior to toasting.
John Glaser's Notes: What if we were to use the world’s best quality oak to mature our whisky? That’s the question I asked myself during the creative development process for our new Scotch whisky, “The Spice Tree”.
To start with, I believe we have possibly the industry’s highest quality standards for the oak casks our whiskies are aged in. This gives us whiskies that have a richness, a sweetness and a softness on the palate that people recognise as our house style. Our new whisky, “The Spice Tree”, is a result of our ongoing efforts to make some of Scotland’s greatest whiskies by using the highest quality oak in the world.
“The Spice Tree” is a vatted malt whisky in which a portion of the whiskies have undergone a secondary maturation with new French oak of the world’s highest quality standard—a type of oak normally sold only to wineries.
