The third release in the "Extinct Blends" quartet is Metropolis, a Blended Scotch whisky composed of whiskies aged 25-30 years of age, bottled at 49%. The whisky is mainly 30-year-old Aberlour with dashes of 24-year-old Bowmore and 29-year-old Miltonduff. Intrigued? It is inspired by a blend originally created in the late 19th Century, made with Glenmorangie.
Producer Description
"For our third release in the Extinct Blends Quartet, Metropolis, we step into the throng of a striving city through the ages. Blended Scotch began in the metropolis, with blending vats in Glasgow and Edinburgh producing bottles for urban jungles around the world. The soul of blended Scotch continues to reside in the city.
"Vanilla arrives first on the nose, followed by a medley of different honeys. Fudge, apricot and pineapple lead to fresh fig. A rich and very complex palate with sultana, apricot again and hints of smoky woodiness. A long and sweet finish, with a pleasing weight."
