METROPOLIS

For the third release in the series, we step into the throng of a striving city. Industriousness jostles up against elaborate architecture#P,& people and provisions from diverse places mingle#P,& commerce meets culture.

Blended Scotch whisky began in the metropolis, with blending vats in Glasgow and Edinburgh producing bottles for urban jungles around the world. The soul of blended Scotch continues to reside in the city.

Metropolis takes inspiration from a recently extinct blended Scotch with a long history and a strong link to a Sir Walter Scott novel in which a number of urban centres are referenced. Therefore, we have chosen a city as the setting for our reimagining of this oak-forward and revered whisky.

If Metropolis were an actual city, its chief thoroughfares and grand buildings would equate to the shortbread and honey notes contributed by malt whiskies from the Aberlour and Miltonduff distilleries. A parcel of blended Scotch whisky further matured in Sherry butts brings a fatness and dried fruit richness, acting as a bridge over a river of creamy and zesty grain whisky. Subtle scents of hot metal and smoke drift in from the shipyards, courtesy of malt whisky from the Bowmore Distillery.

Charming, refined and alive with energy, Metropolis reflects the excitement and richness of life in the city.
