{"product_id":"compass-box-spice-tree","title":"Compass Box Spice Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpice Tree is one of the defining releases from Compass Box, the London-based blending house founded by John Glaser that built its reputation on transparency and on treating whisky blending as a creative discipline. Built around Highland malt whisky and matured with heavily toasted French oak, the expression takes its name from the wave of baking-spice character that the wood coaxes out of the spirit. Its early version famously ran afoul of Scotch Whisky Association maturation rules, and Compass Box reworked the maturation approach to bring it back — a story that turned Spice Tree into a talking point far beyond its price bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whisky pours a warm amber and opens with clove, cinnamon bark and toasted vanilla over a base of orchard fruit and malt. The palate is layered and generous: baked apple, dark honey, ginger and cracked black pepper wrapped in sweet oak, with a faint herbal note running underneath. The finish is long and warming, drying gently into cocoa, nutmeg and lingering wood spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpice Tree is an easy recommendation for anyone building a serious blended malt shelf, and it gifts well to a whisky drinker who has already worked through the obvious single malts. Liquor Geeks carries the wider Compass Box range alongside Highland and Speyside single malts, so it pairs naturally with an Artist Blend or a Glenmorangie for a side-by-side tasting.
