More questions

Compass Box Metropolis is a blended whisky that embodies the art of refined mixing in contemporary Scottish tradition. Coming from a selection of distillates from various regions of Scotland, this whisky expresses a harmonious balance between sophistication and intensity thanks to a skillful blend of malt and grain whisky. The result is a complex spirit, with a smooth yet lively structure, featuring aromatic influences ranging from smoky notes to sweet hints of honey and dried fruit.

The aging takes place in American and European oak barrels, which give Metropolis velvety finishes and a deep amber hue. On the nose, it offers elegant aromas with hints of vanilla, light spices, and a touch of peat, while the palate reveals delicate notes of caramel, citrus, and toasted wood. The finish is long and enveloping, ideal for those seeking a complex and balanced tasting experience.

Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, Metropolis is also suitable to accompany dishes with a strong character, such as grilled meats or aged cheeses, thus enhancing its versatility and sensory richness.
