Compass Box - Metropolis

Trends change, and recipes follow. Blended whiskies from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s differ greatly from today's versions, even if the brand name remains the same. With the Extinct Blends Quartet, Compass Box reinterprets four of the most popular blended Scotches from yesteryear, drawing on some of its rarest and most original whisky stocks.

For Ultramarine, Compass Box drew inspiration from the antique sherry and pipe tobacco notes of an iconic, luxurious blended Scotch first released in the late 1980s. It is based on mature malts from the Caol Ila and Glendullan distilleries, among others.

Delos revives the vibrant Compass Box Blend Asyla. Old and rare whisky components from the Glen Elgin, Imperial, Miltonduff, and Cameronbridge distilleries contribute to the experience of exotic fruits and smooth vanilla.

For the third release in the series, Compass Box travels through the urban success story of whisky blending. After all, the origins of Scottish blended whisky lie in vibrant metropolises.

Metropolis is therefore the fitting name of the new limited edition.

It combines notes of shortbread and honey from Aberlour and Miltonduff with oily character and dried fruits from sherry casks and creamy, tangy grain notes with metallic, smoky hints of Bowmore, thus tracing the diverse life in the city.
