Very spicy, with some sweetness on the nose. When softened, vanilla and oaky taste and nose are more prominent

Katherine, Jan 17, 2021

Spicy is a prominent flavor, with a long longer on the lips. Lots of burnt caramel and oak with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. If you like a smooth spicy drink, I would highly recommend this one.

Gregory, Jan 16, 2021

The spice is melded with brown sugar in a very nice way. Finish is also sweet. This is really nice to sip

Jennifer, Jan 3, 2021

Good balance of interesting flavors. My favorite of the Blended, Not Stirred Vol. 3 tasting box.

Mark, Dec 28, 2020

Certainly inoffensive, but spice? Dunno about that.

Damon, Dec 28, 2020

VERY strong flavors, full of spice.

Jessica, Dec 27, 2020

Great spicy blended whisky. Great spice at the end.

Calli, Dec 25, 2020

So smooth

Laura, Dec 22, 2020

I like it quite a bit. The spice is strong but not overpowering. Good on the rocks.

guest, Dec 8, 2020

Great depth of flavour and very well rounded. My go to scotch.

Marko, Dec 6, 2020

Very smooth and easy to enjoy neat. Light almost fruity initial taste followed by subtle heat

Mark, Dec 5, 2020

For the price point, this was a big disappointment. Light, no finish, and where's the spice? Have loved most Compass Box expressions, this wasn't one of them.

Todd, Dec 5, 2020

Decent. Nice blend of spicy and sweet.

Tony, Dec 2, 2020

Yum! Spicy nose, sweet and spicy taste. My favorite of the tasting set.

Sid, Nov 28, 2020

Spicy for cold snowy night sipper

Ryan, Nov 7, 2020

Spicy with notes of honey and sweetness.

Richard, Nov 7, 2020

forgot to add rating.... here it is

Richard, Nov 7, 2020

sip it - don't mix it..... it's a wonderful whisky. spicy, complex, chewy and warm.

John, Nov 5, 2020

Nice blended malt, but I prefer JW Green.

Michael, Nov 4, 2020

Vanilla & baking spice with a silky finish. Fantastic on the rocks. Still good neat, but the flavors are clipped.

Michael, Nov 4, 2020

Spicy baking spice with a silky finish. Fantastic on the rocks. Still good neat, but the flavors are clipped.

Rick, Oct 28, 2020

Do enjoy it in a nice mix drink. Heavy spice on the front with some vanilla. Little burn on the way down, with a little clove.

guest, Oct 25, 2020

Spice and vanilla on the front end of the nose. Palate was honey, vanilla and spice which lingered quite a while. Picked up some oak when I added a little water

Matthew, Oct 18, 2020

Liked this a lot. Nose and palate were both pleasant and was an easy sipper. This is the right price point for this blend. Would definitely buy a bottle.

Mark, Oct 7, 2020

Delicious and smooth. Great sipping whiskey

Andee, Sep 27, 2020

Don’t care for the salty end notes. Fairly smooth. Can taste the honey/Carmel notes at the beginning.

SCOTT, Sep 25, 2020

Vanilla, honey, and spice. Solid. Sips more like a rye than a scotch but very enjoyable.

Michael, Sep 13, 2020

Spicy, loved it!

Ray, Sep 11, 2020

Reminded me of buttery honey vanilla bread with some heat and spice.

VINCENT, Sep 5, 2020

One of the best blend I ever tasted. What a charismatic spirit !

Dan, Aug 29, 2020

Giftable. Chocolatey tone.

Matthew, Aug 23, 2020

A spicy explosion! Delightful!

Kelly, Aug 13, 2020

Lovely honey and nutmeg. Stellar blend.

Brian, Aug 6, 2020

Light color and nose reveal very little up front. A smooth whiskey with vanilla and a floral taste. A bit of water opens up a citrus nose. Very smooth whiskey. You will be disappointed if you're looking for "spice in this tree", but very good.

John, Jul 29, 2020

Enjoyed the caramel. Flavor really came through

Tom, Jul 26, 2020

Sweet with bitter honey notes and a touch of spice off the finish.

Craig, Jul 18, 2020

Too Smokey and lacked the spice I expected

Armando, Jul 18, 2020

Very attractive complexity, great finish great scotch

Devlin, Jul 14, 2020

Another great one from compass box, loved the honey spice and nice long smooth finish with hints of vanilla

Daniel, Jul 7, 2020

Very light scotch, just enough peat.

Joel, Jul 7, 2020

A nice slow sipper. Good complexity. Very strong for a blend.

Dwight, Jul 3, 2020

Really enjoyed this scotch. Super spicy at first. Very smooth with minimal “bite”. Will definitely buy again.

Sruthi, Jul 2, 2020

Too spicy

Michael, Jun 26, 2020

Bit of spice and tang. Light and tasty

Dan, Jun 18, 2020

I like the salty and honey mix. Like a snack mix, but in liquid scotch form.

Melody, Jun 14, 2020

This was smooth and very well layered

Christian, Apr 28, 2020

Very drinkable. Very smooth through the whole experience.

Zach, Apr 25, 2020

Sweet and smooth, spicy notes don't overpower

Matt, Apr 23, 2020

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, Apr 16, 2020

I expected more taste

Aaron, Apr 13, 2020

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.

Ian, Apr 1, 2020

Smooth and delicious. Spicy on the front end but a sweet and earthy finish

Bert, Mar 17, 2020

fine little scotch

Rob, Feb 16, 2020

Enjoyed the honey and spice combo

Bruce, Jan 15, 2020

Honey and sweet. Not spicy. Mild.

Ray, Nov 25, 2019

Spice and salt are the most prominent flavors, some oaky flavors with a sweetness near the end.

Matthew, Nov 10, 2019

Good balance and smooth no burn. Very nice for a nas

Victoria, Nov 10, 2019

This was amazing. Sweet and mellow then a spicy taste after a moment. Like home! Warm and inviting

Kerry, Nov 9, 2019

Smells and tastes flowery. Not super smooth and left and unpleasant coating in my mouth. Tastes forced, like they tried to hard to force flavors in and failed. I dumped the last sip.

Jonathan, Oct 25, 2019

Nice drink, great for sipping inside while it's cold outside. Heavy wooded flavors, with spicy, semi sweet finish that cloys to the mouth for a bit after swallowing.

Stephen, Aug 26, 2019

Really smooth, not too sweet, easily drinkable, maybe a touch of ginger feel. Definitely worth it. Lovely.

guest, Aug 2, 2019

Perfect combination of Spice and sweet

Stephen, Jun 9, 2019

I love the sweet and spicy smell of this whisky. The first 10 minutes of pouring it into my glass I just sniffed it taking in the notes of honey and spice and feeling relaxed. Once I started drinking it I was not disappointed by the taste! I love a good whisky that warms me from the inside and Spice Tree did that. This drink is smooth starting off sweet and leaving a tangy taste in my mouth. I'm going to enjoy this bottle!!

Krist, Jun 2, 2019

Deliciously smooth... a fantastic scotch straight up, on the rocks, or my favourite with a splash of warm water.

Joseph, Apr 22, 2019

Soft start, bold salty finish. Decent flavor and would buy again.

Geoff, Mar 16, 2019

Warm, honey, vanilla. I will enjoy this bottle from beginning to end.

Gareth, Mar 4, 2019

Very nice and light.

Alex, Feb 21, 2019

Not bad, I feel like this opens up after a while. Initial impression was too light and not enough time in the barrel, but after letting it sit for a bit and then linger on the tongue it got deeper and more complex. I'm not a huge fan of "butterscotch", which is where I feared this was headed, but this veers more in the direction of honey and vanilla and has just enough spice to round things out. For the price, definitely worth it.

Antti, Dec 7, 2018

It is a classic, rich, Blended Malt Whisky with a rich & aromatic birth; while a delicate & rich life; that leads to a speedy & spicy death with notes of nutmeg.

Alex, Nov 19, 2018

A delightful tang! Odd as that may sound, the spiciness is delightful! Definitely noticeably, but not overpowering. A wonderful whisky, and a must try for any who love a peated, spicy one. Gambled and bought it without sampling, but glad I did!

Amber, Nov 14, 2018

Not as peaty as I’m used to. Little bit of a burn. Had better for the price

Thomas, Nov 13, 2018

Super disappointing. The description here may say the nose has aromas of malt but the taste is more reminiscent of straight up spicy grain alcohol. Drinkable, but no balance like I expect from a blend. You could get the same experience from a very young whisky. I'm honestly not familiar with the 3 malts blended to make this whisky but if the end result is indicative of their single malt versions you couldn't convince me to buy a bottle of any of them, sorry.

Kirk, Oct 23, 2018

John Glaser....... can do no wrong in my eyes!!! Amazing whisky!

Ryan, Oct 21, 2018

Really interesting scotch that serves as a great after dinner aperitif.

Rebecca, Sep 18, 2018

Wow, there's a lot going on here, all at once. Malted barley, cantaloupe, apple, & dates on the nose. All that plus... maybe fruitcake? when drinking. Velvet on the tongue, and a hint of smoke on the exhale. Fantastic.
