A limited edition blended malt from the excellent Compass Box folks, taking inspiration from their cracking (and briefly banned) Spice Tree. They've developed on the recipe by using older components and a generous helping of first-fill-Sherry-butt-matured whisky, as well as whisky matured in their innovative hybrid casks.
