Day 6 of 24 Days of Whisk(e)y ... let's see what we have tonight.
On the nose, this is soft and subtle, with some soft notes of floral and honey. The taste is mild as well, with some honey and spices with some wood as well, but everything is light. After a sip I can get a little bit of the spice on the nose, mild baking spice.
The finish I get some bread, honey, wood dryness, and some warmth that builds over time. I would guess this is around 45% ABV, and I'm thinking it's an Irish Whiskey. Adding a little water, the nose is similar, more baking spice on the taste, and more of that spice on the finish too.
I'd rate this a 3.75/5.0 - I do like it better than the bourbons that we've had so far, and I enjoy it like the Scotch last night, so I'll rate it the same. Tonight's bottle is ...
Well, Irish... Scotch - they're close on the map, right? Compass Box Spice Tree, Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, all coming from the Highlands and about 11 to 12 years of age. After knowing it is Scotch, the tasting notes are not too surprising. A solid offering from Compass Box, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
