The Compass Box ULTRAMARINE Extinct Blends Quartet is a strictly limited-edition blended Scotch whisky that reinterprets historic premium blends from decades past. It was inspired by a deluxe blended Scotch first released in the late 1980s, whose characteristic combination of sherry influences, tobacco notes and complex smokiness forms the basis for ULTRAMARINE. This bottling is part of the Extinct Blends Quartet, a series through which Compass Box revisits four selected blended Scotch whiskies from bygone eras. The aim is not to create an exact replica of historical recipes, but rather to offer a modern reinterpretation of their style. Some of Compass Box’s rarest and most distinctive whisky stocks were used in the composition to combine the character of classic blends with modern whisky-making techniques.


Lead Whiskymaker James Saxon is responsible for Compass Box ULTRAMARINE. The basic idea behind the Extinct Blends series is that Scotch whisky production methods and styles have changed over the decades, meaning that historical blends can differ significantly from their modern counterparts. ULTRAMARINE draws in particular on the style of luxurious blends from the late 1980s, combining sherry-influenced notes with oak and complex peat smoke. The whisky was bottled in August 2022 with a robust 51 per cent alcohol content. It retains its natural colour and has not been chill-filtered. With just 5,430 bottles produced worldwide, this is a strictly limited Compass Box special edition, which is offered in this version together with a gift box.
