Compass Box "Ultramarine" Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whisky (700ml)
95
Whisky Advocate
Well-structured aromas with floral top notes, seasoned oak, vanilla, layered peat smoke, dried banana chip, and gently spiced pecan bars. The interaction of polished oak, smoke, cigar, and deep-toned wood sugars makes this pretty special. Smooth to sip, with toffee, vanilla, citrus, bountiful fruits, smoke, and spice, burgeoning with burnt heather, toasted nuts, oak char, malty chocolate, coffee, and black fruits. Simply stunning blending at work here. Global release of 5,430 bottles. (JM, winter 2022)

Notes
Ultramarine is inspired by an iconic deluxe blended Scotch, in particular the first bottlings of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Harnessing old-school Sherry casks and ethereal peatiness, Ultramarine highlights the enchanting possibilities, and the breadth of flavors and textures afforded by combinations of aged malt and grain whiskies. The producer desceribes this nonchillfiltered whisky this way: "toffee, antique polished oak and complex peatiness are primary aromas, with a palate of roasted pecan, raisins and smoke."
