Compass Box Ultramarine - The Extinct Blends Quartet
This limited edition blended Scotch whisky from Compass Box is part of its Extinct Blends Quartet, a series honouring previous styles of famous blends from decades past. Ultramarine is a reimagining of an 'iconic deluxe blended Scotch' that had its first bottlings in the late '80s and early '90s – one for the Scotch sleuths among you to ponder. This blend draws on malt and grain whiskies from the Caol Ila, Girvan, Glendullan and Cameronbridge distilleries along with a whole medley of pre-blended whiskies from the Compass Box stocks, for a peaty, sherried expression. Bottled at 51% ABV, it's naturally coloured and non-chill filtered, with an outturn of 5,430 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Gentle wafts of earthy peat, layered with sweet, sherried smoke, drizzles of caramel, and warm oaky vanilla.
Palate
Barbeque smoke, with grilled peaches, wattleseed, and spiced fruitcake.
Finish
Spices build, with meaty smoke lingering.
