Compass Box Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky

Blended Scotch Whisky | 49% ABV (98 Proof) | 700 mL | Scotland | Limited Edition (5,910 bottles) | Natural Colour | Not Chill-Filtered

Process & Profile

Compass Box Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky is a limited-edition release created as part of Compass Box’s Extinct Blends Quartet. The idea behind Metropolis is a big-city style blend—rich, buttery, and vibrant—layering classic Scotch sweetness with a gentle, refined smokiness. Bottled at 49% ABV, it has a fuller texture than standard 80-proof blends, with enough structure to sip slowly neat while still staying smooth and balanced.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla bean, layered honey, fudge, ripe apricot, grilled pineapple, fresh fig, soft oak spice

• Palate: Rich and complex with sultana, apricot, deeper sweet malt, and a subtle soft wood smoke

• Finish: Long, sweet, and weighted with lingering fruit and gentle spice

What Makes It Special

• Limited-edition Compass Box blend with a defined collectible identity (5,910 bottles)

• Bottled at 98 proof for a richer mouthfeel and longer finish

• Natural colour and not chill-filtered presentation for fuller texture

• A sweet-and-fruity profile with a lightly smoky edge—approachable but still layered

• Ideal for customers who like modern premium blends with dessert-style richness

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat to catch the full vanilla-to-fruit arc, then add a few drops of water to lift the honeyed notes and soften the oak spice. A single large cube works if you want a slower evolution that pulls forward more fudge sweetness and rounds the smoke even further.
