Description
Compass Box Ultramarine, Welcome to our flavor time machine
Scotch whiskey bottles are time capsules.
Even more than single malts, blends can reflect the production methods and philosophies that were prevalent in Scotland during specific eras.
Scotch whiskey is constantly evolving and blends add to these trends and adaptations.
Fashions change and formulas follow suit.
Blended whiskeys from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s are very different from today’s versions, even when the brand remains the same.
The quartet of extinct blends reimagines four of our favorite blended Scotch whiskeys of yesteryear, using some of our rarest and most idiosyncratic whiskey stock.
Ultramarine
Bottled at 51% ABV
Not cold filtered

Primary Whiskey Maker: James Saxon
Ultramarine is inspired by the vintage sherry and pipe tobacco notes of a luxury blended Scotch whisky, first released in the late 1980s.
Powerful in flavor and impressive in texture, the Extinct Blends Quartet’s first release is based on mature malts from the Caol Ila and Glendullan distilleries; Aged grains from Cameronbridge and Girvan distilleries, as well as a mix of pre-blended stocks.
