Compass Box Ultramarine is a blended Scotch whisky released as part of the Extinct Blends Quartet, a series inspired by older styles of deluxe blended Scotch. For a new drinker, that means a blend aiming for a richer, more old-fashioned profile than many modern everyday blends.
At 51.0% ABV, it is bottled at a robust strength, so it may show more concentration and texture than a standard bottling. Expect a style that emphasizes complexity and depth rather than simple sweetness or lightness.
