This the banned version of Compass Box's The Spice Tree. The Scotch Whisky Association (the other SWA) took exception to their use of new oak staves as "inner staves", and stated that because it had never been done before in regards to Whisky and that they would not allow it. So this is the banned version of The Spice Tree and it is rather rare.
The controversial aging of this whisky was 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels and first-fill, re-charred American oak hogsheads for the primary maturation. A portion of the whisky went through a secondary maturation on new (virgin) French Sessile oak, heavily toasted.
This bottle is the Inaugural Banned Edition.
Bottled: 2005
Cask Type: First fill bourbon and re-charred American oak hogsheads. As well as the banned French Sessile oak.
46% ABV / 70cl
