Scotch so avant-garde it was illegal in 2005.
Compass Box, Scottish maker of artisanal Whisky, is known for its forward-thinking and extravagant expressions. They create custom casks from premium Oak, select the best Whiskies they can find, create unique and magical blends, which are then matured for up to six years. Then, in 2005, Compass Box went "too far". In their daring endeavor, they decided to shake things up and use staves in the finishing process. Absolute horror show, right? Well, apparently. The Scotch Whisky Association banned the expression in 2006. Again, the staves!
Anyway, the lavish Spice Tree is back. After some tinkering and conspiratorial meetings with barrel makers, they came up with a unique hybrid Oak cask that brings similar results as the verboten version. And its second coming is wonderfully stunning. The 2.0 version was matured in custom-made American Oak casks with heads made of French Oak, and the result is a rich and intense malt with toasty accents and a taste that is so grand it should be illegal again. It's an awe-inspiring dram and expect unexpected smiles or even grins. Your brain will not compute the excellence.

Ratings & Reviews
Christian,
Very drinkable. Very smooth through the whole experience.
Zach,
Sweet and smooth, spicy notes don't overpower
Matt,
if you wanted rye, but scotch, this might be it.
i like it. first sip had a smoky taste that never resurfaced, would have liked more of that. nice flavors in the spice.
Sami,
I expected more taste
Aaron,
Honestly, not getting too much from this scotch. I was expecting a little more complexity. Flavor is a little spicy with some floral notes, nothing rich or oaky about it, as the package says.
