Unveiling Compass Box’s Celestial: The Final Release in the Extinct Blends Quartet
As a whisky enthusiast always on the lookout for unique and exceptional blends, I was thrilled to learn about Compass Box’s latest creation, Celestial. This exquisite blend marks the culmination of the Extinct Blends Quartet, a series dedicated to reviving the flavors of long-lost whiskies.
Celestial, inspired by the peated Scotch bottlings of the 1950s and 1960s, is a harmonious fusion of malt whiskies from renowned distilleries such as Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Pulteney, and Glen Elgin. The result is a rich and peated profile that promises to tantalize the taste buds of whisky connoisseurs.
The label of Celestial is a work of art in itself, drawing inspiration from the mythical Pegasus. Adorned with a captivating cloudscape and shimmering constellations, the packaging reflects the celestial theme of the blend.
James Saxon, the mastermind behind Celestial and the newly appointed whisky-making director of Compass Box, expressed his passion for this ambitious blend. He described Celestial as the perfect liquid to conclude this chapter in Compass Box’s illustrious story.
Scheduled for a limited release of 5,532 bottles on April 4th, Celestial is sure to be a sought-after addition to any whisky collection. For more information and updates, visit compassboxwhisky.com.
In addition to the launch of Celestial, Compass Box made headlines earlier this year with the transition of its groundbreaking Hedonism expression to an annual limited release. The brand also unveiled a captivating film chronicling the history of its blended grain whisky.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments from Compass Box as they continue to push the boundaries of whisky innovation and craftsmanship.
