Description
Extinct Blends Quartet takes inspiration from vanished characters and flavours, reappraising four very different expressions of blended Scotch, using some of Compass Box’s most precious parcels of whisky.
Compass Box Celestial – The Extinct Blends Quartet
Latest and last in the Extinct Blends Quartet, Celestial is inspired by a whisky from the 1960s with both an extravagant flavour profile and an equine theme.
Celestial takes to the sky through billowing clouds and glittering constellations, drawing on malt whiskies from the Ardbeg and Caol Ila distilleries, two parcels previously brought together six years ago for the original No Name.
Heavyweight peat smoke, starting with beach bonfire and building to coastal smokiness. Gingery richness, vanilla and grilled apples behind, with a dry and oak-forward palate, leading to meaty smokiness.
