Compass Box Extinct Blends Quartet Metropolis

Metropolis is city whisky in a glass: vibrant, layered, and alive. Think creamy vanilla at first sip, giving way to honeyed richness, fudge, pineapple, and dried apricot that ride together like a soundtrack to a bustling street. Sultana sweetness and a whisper of smoky oak anchor the chaos, while the finish hangs long, smooth, and effortlessly magnetic. It’s the third drop in Compass Box’s Extinct Blends Quartet, and it wears its hometown pride loud and proud: a tribute to the raw, creative pulse of Glasgow and Edinburgh, where tradition meets urban swagger. This isn’t just whisky—it’s a city you can sip.

Method Magic The final release in Compass Box’s Extinct Blends Quartet, Celestial draws inspiration from a lost blend of the 1960s, remembered for its luxurious flavour and equine-themed branding. Bottled in November 2023, it leans heavily into Islay single malts, with Ardbeg and Caol Ila forming the smoky backbone. Maritime notes of seaweed and juniper dance alongside mellow sweetness and herbal freshness. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 50% ABV, this is a whisky made for wide skies and wide-open conversations. Only 5,532 bottles released. 🥃
