Introducing Compass Box Celestial – Scotch Whisky News

Continue your journey through this flavour odyssey and take flight. Revealing the latest and last in our Extinct Blends Quartet: Celestial.

This whisky is inspired by a revered blend from the mid 20th Century with an extravagant flavour profile. The inspiration whisky has an equine theme and was founded by the original ‘Whisky Barons’, with strong historical connections to distilleries on Islay and Speyside.

The artwork tells the story of an epic flight through billowing clouds. You’re taken on a journey through glittering constellations, towards the home of the celestial body of Pegasus from Greek Mythology.

The gleaming brightness of this whisky is provided by malt whiskies from the Glen Elgin and Pulteney distilleries. Its complex columns of smoky peatiness are balanced with a complexity and depth of flavour from the mature and rare whiskies within the blend.

On tasting Celestial, you are met with heavyweight peat smoke, that starts on beach bonfire and builds to coastal smokehouse. Behind that is a gingery richness, vanilla and grilled apples. The palate is dry and oak-forward, with meaty smokiness flowing into cooked tropical fruits.

Celestial truly is our most expansive and extravagant whisky of the Quartet and is available to shop now.
