Compass Box Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky
Compass Box Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky
Compass Box Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky is the third limited release in the Extinct Blends Quartet, bottled at 98 proof in a run of 5,910. James Saxon centred it on nutty, biscuity Aberlour from re-charred American oak and citrus-vanilla Miltonduff from first-fill bourbon, then folded in a blended-grain parcel, a sherry-matured blended Scotch parcel, and a little Bowmore for herbal smoke. Blended Scotch was made in Glasgow and Edinburgh vats for the cities that drank it; this bottle uses some of Compass Box’s oldest stocks to recover that rich, high-malt, honeycomb style. Natural colour, not chill-filtered.
Vanilla and honey open into fudge, apricot, pineapple, and fresh fig. Sultana and a thread of smoky wood ride a long, sweet, weighty finish. Grain fudge keeps it plush; Bowmore is woodsmoke, not a peat wall.
