As in the past, The Spice Tree is made from 100% malt whisky sourced from
northern Highland distilleries, (notably and primarily malt whisky distilled
in the village of Brora). The primary maturation is in a mix of first-fill and
refill American oak.
What is different is the secondary maturation. Rather than using inner stave
inserts, as we did for the original Spice Tree, we rack the whisky into barrels
with heavily toasted new French oak heads. We have created a method for
getting a super heavy toast on the cask heads which imparts a flavour profile
similar to the flat staves used for the original Spice Tree.

We use oak with three
different levels of toasting on the barrel heads, thus allowing us to blend the
resultant whiskies to create additional layers of complexity. This secondary
maturation lasts as long as two years.
Compass Box is a specialist Scotch whiskymaker. With us you will discover a world of small batch Scotch whiskies, made in a variety of styles to appeal to a variety of tastes.
The tastiest of their Signature range, this boasts a dry oak and spice nose with fudge, rye bread, and banana interwoven with French oak influences of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground ginger. As the gentle orange, malt, pear, and apple settle down, little spicy explosions of ginger and pepper detonate, leaving an aftermath of spiced malt, coffee cake, milk chocolate, and cocoa. Such a wonderful flavor trajectory to behold.
