This bottling of a blended Scotch whisky, named Metropolis, was produced by the independent bottler Compass Box as the third edition in The Extinct Blends Quartet series; 5,910 bottles were bottled in 2023.
Compass Box was founded in 2000 by John Glaser, a former marketing director of the Johnnie Walker brand. It is a pioneer in the production of high-quality blended whisky, which is partly produced using cross-border production methods. Time and again there are disagreements with the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) about various issues, which is also a sign of the creativity in the production of the products.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
