Compass Box - Celestial

After exploring vibrant metropolises with Metropolis, Compass Box now takes to the skies with Celestial, the final release in the Extinct Blends Quartet. With this luxurious bottling series, Compass Box reinterprets four of the most beloved blended Scotches from yesteryear, drawing on some of its rarest and most original whisky stocks.

Celestial demonstrates the heights that can be achieved with the finest blends of Scottish malt and grain whiskies. Inspired by a 1960s whisky characterized by both an extravagant profile and a horse theme, it soars into the flavor heavens like Pegasus. Founded by one of the original "whisky barons" and with strong historical ties to a distillery on Islay and one in Speyside, bottlings of the brand from the 1950s and 1960s are highly sought after.

The Blended Scotch Celestial is the peatiest and most complex whisky of the quartet, with a depth of flavor and maturity that has become the series' hallmark. Heavy campfire and coastal smoke from Ardbeg and Caol Ila meet a gingery richness, vanilla, grilled apples, and cooked tropical fruits from the Glen Elgin, Pulteney, and Port Dundas distilleries, among others.
