Compass Box Ultramarine - The Extinct Blends Quartet
Compass Box
Tasting Notes
A harmonious blend of earthy peat and sweet sherried smoke greets the senses, unveiling layers of caramel and warm vanilla notes. On the palate, this Scotch whisky unfolds a tantalizing medley of barbeque smoke, grilled peaches, and wattleseed, intertwined with spiced fruitcake nuances. As the flavors linger, spices build up, leaving a lingering trail of meaty smoke in its wake. This limited edition expression from Compass Box pays homage to an iconic deluxe blended Scotch from the late '80s and early '90s, meticulously recreated using whiskies from Caol Ila, Girvan, Glendullan, Cameronbridge, and pre-blended stocks. Bottled at 51% ABV, naturally colored, and non-chill filtered, this peaty, sherried delight offers a captivating journey through Scotch whisky history.
