Compass Box Oak Cross is excellent, as the name suggests it has plenty of oak spice and vanilla, some fruit in there also, i would highly recommend if you can get this at a decent price. Compass Box are very good at putting together blended malts, Spice Tree and Flaming Heart are worth looking at also.Compass Box Lady Luck and Juvenile were both superb but i doubt you can get a hold of them now.

Wemyss The Hive 12 as the name suggests is a big honied, citrus fruit vanilla'd whisky. Worth a go if you can get it at a good price.

I only know of the Three Ships 10 year old single malt, but havent tasted it.

I have had the Compass Box Oak Cross out of the ones you mention Murray and it is excellent. I also had the Lady Luck William mentioned and it was outstanding, amongst my top 10 ever tasted drams.

The Compass Box Oak Cross is a great dram.

I have only had the Oak Cross out of these and have no hesitation recommending it, it is certainly well named. I have never tried any of the Wemyss malts, let me know what you think of it if you decide to try it.
