- Description
- Compass Box's Metropolis is the third release in The Extinct Quartet, a series reconstructing celebrated blended Scotches from industrial-era Scotland. The recipe combines refill sherry-aged blended malt, re-charred oak-matured Aberlour, bourbon-aged grain, and first-fill oak-finished Miltonduff in precise proportions, creating layers of dried fruit, spice, and malt complexity. A thoughtfully composed blend that rewards careful tasting and reflects the foundational blending techniques of Scotch whisky's golden age.
