Compass Box The Story of the Spaniard

Why we love this tipple

“Dive into a rich tapestry of flavours with The Story of the Spaniard by Compass Box, a masterfully blended whisky that brings the warmth of the Mediterranean to your glass. Crafted with precision and passion, this whisky tells a tale of sun-soaked orchards and vibrant fruit markets, all while maintaining the depth and complexity Compass Box is renowned for. On the nose, you're greeted with the inviting aromas of yellow apples and banana, followed by the sweet scent of apricot and light caramel. There's a nostalgic hint of boiled apple sweets that transports you to a simpler time, while a subtle maltiness adds a grounding touch. The palate reveals a delightful mix of red and yellow apples, overripe pear, and the unmistakable taste of apricot and passion fruit. A malty finish, accented with notes of Caramac and ripe lemon, brings a satisfying balance to the fruit-forward experience. While the alcohol presence is noticeable, a touch of water enhances the warmth and brings out the full spectrum of flavours, making the finish both satisfying and comforting. The Story of the Spaniard is a whisky for those who appreciate the art of blending—a narrative in every sip, full of warmth, fruit, and a touch of the exotic.”
