Νομίζω πως λείπει από το φόρουμ ένα θέμα που θα αναφέρονται τα ουίσκι των οποίων η κυκλοφορία σταματάει. Για παράδειγμα διάβασα σε άλλο νήμα για το highland park dark origins ότι σταμάτησε, κάτι που δεν γνώριζα προσωπικά οπότε σκέφτηκα να τα έχουμε εδώ συγκεντρωτικά. Σε περίπτωση που υπάρχει ήδη κάποιο αντίστοιχο νήμα και δεν το είδα ή αν είμαι σε λάθος ενότητα παρακαλώ τους admins να μου βάλουν χέρι (με την καλή έννοια ) και να κάνουν τις απαραίτητες διορθώσεις

Για αρχή λοιπόν όπως ήδη είπα:

H Compass Bos διακόπτει φέτος τα:

• The Spice Tree
• The Story of The Spaniard

 

Every now and then, a much beloved whisky must go into retirement. It is always a bittersweet time as they will have undoubtedly served us well, sharing their stories and bringing colour to the Compass Box journey. This year, we’re saying goodbye to old friends The Spice Tree and The Story of The Spaniard.

The Spice Tree first appeared in 2006 causing controversy from the outset. In 2007, largely due to this whisky, we won Innovator Of The Year in Scotch Whisky. Funnily enough this was also the year The Spice Tree had to be first retired for pushing the boundaries of Scotch whisky too far for the Scotch Whisky Association.

As a result, we developed our own hybrid-cask program for The Spice Tree that many in the industry have now adopted. It allowed us to bring rich spice notes and intensity to our Scotch whiskies. This whisky has always been about one thing: oak-derived spice. 

Pour some of The Spice Tree for rich, baking spice, toasty oak and a fruity maltiness.

The Story of The Spaniard was our first long-term commitment to making sherried whisky. We set out, not to make a sherry bomb, but to create something balanced, complex and nuanced.

The first batches of The Story of The Spaniard had not just sherry-seasoned casks but also wine casks: our nod to the great similarities of whiskymaking and winemaking. The recipe has evolved over time, and yet that underlying full, soft and sumptuous character of sherry has always remained.

In The Story of The Spaniard you’ll find a whisky that is full, soft and sumptuous on the palate with jammy flavours of pears poached in red  wine, citrus peel and spices. 

Don’t worry, you’ll still find The Spice Tree and The Story of The Spaniard on shelves for a little while. But for now, we wanted to share the news of this momentous milestone in Compass Box history. 

These are the last two bottling codes for The Spice Tree and The Story of The Spaniard respectively L 21 12 23 and L 21 06 23. You'll find these printed on the back of the bottle.
