Oak Cross Compass Box 43% vol. 0,7l
Oak Cross (Signature Range) is a wholly-owned malt whisky, which achieves its impressive quality through additional ripening in custom-made barrels.
These special barrels have French oak floors and an American oak body.
This achieves a perfect balance between the lighter note of the whisky matured in American oak barrels and the spicy and dried fruit note of the French oak.
When bottling, some of these special barrels are selected to create an extra flavor level that is usually unreachable.
The result is a soft malt whisky with the taste of clove and vanilla, highlighting the sweet malty and fine fruit notes.
Oak Cross uses only Highland malt whiskys aged at least ten years. They are carefully steamed to balance the sweet-delicate, slightly malty flavors with the heavier fruit character.
Soft on the palate, with aromas of clove and vanilla, emphasizing sweet malty and fine fruitiness.
Medium body with a long finish.
