Due to very limited stock, we are restricting this release to one bottle per household to try and share the whisky love as wide as possible. (If you manage to cheat our system, we will not fulfil your order and instead refund you minus our processing fees.)

A limited-edition blended whisky from boutique blenders, Compass Box. Launched in 2023 as the third release in the Extinct Blends Quartet, a collection of four whiskies that pay homage to styles of Scotch from the past. Metropolis is a nod to the industrial past of blended Scotch and is said to have been inspired from a recently lost blended Scotch whisky with a 'long history', and by the mixing of cultures that happens in cities. Produced from a blend of 25.8% blended malt Scotch whisky aged in a refill sherry butt, 25.1% Aberlour single malt aged in a re-charred American oak barrel, 20.5% blended grain parcel aged in refill bourbon barrels, 16.6% Miltonduff single malt aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, 7.1% Bowmore single malt aged in a refill bourbon barrel, and 4.9% blended Scotch parcel aged primarily in first-fill bourbon barrels. 5,910 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 49%.

Nose: Vanilla arrives first on the nose, followed by a medley of different honeys. Fudge, apricot and pineapple lead to fresh fig.

Palate: A rich and very complex palate with sultana, apricot again and hints of smoky woodiness.

Finish: A long and sweet finish, with a pleasing weight.
