Compass Box Oak Cross

Description

Brand: Compass Box
Category: Whisky
Type: Blended Malt
Region: USA
Strength: 43% alc/vol

A vatting of top-quality highland malts that undergo a unique secondary maturation in American casks capped with new French Oak heads, adding an extra layer of spicy flavour and complexity. The result is fruity and rich with clove and vanilla notes.

Tasting notes:
Immediate vanilla, orange zest, ripe banana and a backbone of malted barley. Despite the gentle tropical and citrus nose, the palate’s flavours are masked by a potent spirity sweet grain. Water honeys the vanilla, pineapple merges with the banana. A quirky truffle of light pineapple, vanilla and chili.
