The Spice Tree is ideal for lovers of big, spicy, fruity malt whiskies, especially for those who have a bit of a rebellious streak.
It was banned in 2006 by Scotch Whisky Association for its unique new French oak ageing that was considered 'non-traditional'. However, in 2009 The Spice Tree returned better than ever with an adapted maturation technique using new French oak on the heads of the casks.
From the boutique Scotch whisky maker Compass Box, it is made from a combination of three Highland single malts and the innovative ageing gives the whisky a unique, complex character.
