Blended Malt

This fine blended whisky compliments the Robert Burns Malt and captures the character of our beautiful island of clear mountain water and soft sea air.

The Spice Tree is made from Highland malt whiskies which we age in custom-made casks fitted with new French oak heads. We source this oak from a mill in the Vosges which produces some of the highest quality cooperage oak for winemakers. Bolder, displaying oak —there’s dried spice notes and it’s viscous and clinging on the palate. Notes of sticky toffee, vanilla fudge, bramble, and red currant give way to oak resin, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and subtle lemongrass. A tactile, somewhat resinous, polished leather finish wraps it up.

This is a venerable whisky and one that would have been much appreciated by Walkers clients. A toasty, sweet aroma is complemented by a peaty, spicy notes that develop into heady flavours of oak, dark-chocolate and rich fruitcake. Typically composed of around 16 whiskies, it’s dominated by Islay malt and balanced by several rich Speysiders that have undergone exceptional periods of sherry oak maturation.
