Compass Box Extinct Blends Quartet Metropolis Limited Edition is a 98-proof blended Scotch whisky that showcases the innovative artistry of Scotland's most creative whisky house. This limited release celebrates the lost art of classic blending, combining rare aged whiskies into a harmonious and complex expression that honors whisky's storied past while pushing creative boundaries. Compass Box has built its reputation on challenging traditional Scotch whisky conventions since 2000, approaching blending as an art form rather than mere production. The Extinct Blends Quartet series pays homage to legendary blends that have disappeared from the market, reimagining their spirit through modern craftsmanship. At pbexpressliquor.com, we appreciate how this Metropolis release represents both reverence for history and bold innovation in the glass.
