Compass Box Celestial is the Nov 2023 and last belonging to the very appreciated Extinct Blends Quartet series from Compass Box, the company which focused their attention to the sophisticated art of complex blending. It is said to be using rather old Ardbeg and Cao Ila spirits, in addition to a component of grain coming from Cameronbridge. It is inspired by a whisky from the 1960s with both an extravagant flavour profile and an equine theme. The outturn has been of 5532 bottles.
All the power of Islay is here with us, with an uncompromised marine, diesel peat which is however hiding a sophisticated component of fruit, which moves from the citrus/yellow dimension to a riper, almost tropical side, with lemon, pink grapefruit, mango papaya. On top of all this, a velvety layer of grain’s warm note, like a silky scarf.
Almost chewy, dense, rich and full-bodied. A true nice experience, which resounds in the mouth for minutes before dissipating. Rich peat, chemical, diesel, marine and iodine, mix of spices on top of very fruity hints. The grain has a minor polish note, but compensates with creamy texture. Excellent.
Long and again, long.
Compass Box Celestial is nothing less than what can be expected by its name, adding a wide variety of aromas to a chewable body and a refined texture. Spectacular.
