From Compass Box comes the third whisky from its range The Extinct Quartet, made up of blends inspired by the whiskies of yesteryear. The theme for Metropolis is a nod to the industrial past of blended Scotch and the cities that are the birthplace of the spirit that conquered the world.
As this is Compass Box, we get an exact breakdown of the recipe, which is 25.8% blended malt Scotch whisky aged in a refill sherry butt, 25.1% Aberlour single malt aged in a re-charred American oak barrel, 20.5% blended grain parcel aged in refill bourbon barrels, 16.6% Miltonduff single malt aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, 7.1% Bowmore single malt aged in a refill bourbon barrel, and 4.9% blended Scotch parcel aged primarily in first-fill bourbon barrel.
