The Spice Tree

The Spice Tree

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

46%, Natural Colour, Not Chill-Filtered

The Spice Tree brings rich spice notes and intensity to our Scotch whiskies. This whisky has always been about one thing: oak-derived spice, fuelled by our very own hybrid-cask program for
Aged on heavy toasted, new French oak sourced from 195 year-old Vosges forests and fashioned into our own bespoke hybrid casks.
The nose suggests clove, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is full, round and sweet, with the spice and vanilla following and complimenting the core distillery characters.

French oak richness that comes from finishing much of the whisky in custom-made new French oak casks, which impart deep spice-like flavours.

A long time ago, we created a rich, bold Scotch whisky called The Spice Tree.

Unfortunately, due to its avant garde method of oak-aging, we were compelled by the powers that be to discontinue production.

Undeterred, we worked with our cooper friends in both France and Scotland to develop a new, hybrid oak cask that would allow us to achieve similar results, but in a way that would be acceptable to even the most conservative of observers.

Et voila, The Spice Tree was resurrected – matured using a custom-made cask with French oak for the heads and American oak for the bodies.

The Spice Tree is a rich, intense malt whisky redolent of baking spices and layered with toasty oak accents that complement the underlying distillery character.
