Compass Box Metropolis - Extinct Blends Quartet - 2023 Release is a blended whisky presented as part of a limited series exploring historic blend styles. For a newer drinker, that means it is built from multiple whiskies combined to create a balanced, layered profile rather than highlighting just one distillery character.
Blended whiskies often aim for harmony and approachability, with grain and malt whiskies working together to give sweetness, texture, and complexity. This bottling’s higher strength suggests a fuller, more concentrated style that may benefit from a small splash of water.
