Ultramarine Blended Scotch Whisky CB The Extinct Blends Quartet (Compass Box)

Ultramarine Blended Scotch Whisky CB The Extinct Blends Quartet (Compass Box) is a blended Scotch from Compass Box, known for its inventive vattings of Scotch whisky. Blends like this marry malt and grain whiskies to a house recipe. Compass Box builds each release to a flavour rather than to one distillery.

Grain whisky lends a creamy frame while the malts bring depth and character. Maturation in a sherry cask laid dried fruit over the fresh malt. The maker selects casks for what each lends to the whole. A period of marrying brings the parts into balance. The range champions creativity within the bounds of Scotch whisky. The result is a rounded, characterful Scotch with a honeyed lift. Each batch is a considered vatting rather than a standing recipe. A soft, fruity profile runs through the blend. Compass Box is known for inventive recipes and a transparent approach to blending.

At a full 51% it is intense yet fragrant. Honey, orchard fruit and a soft spice run through it, with a gentle oak warmth. It is fresh and clean, the fruity spirit shining through. The close is soft, fruit over gentle oak. A characterful blended Scotch from Compass Box.
