Our latest and last in the Extinct Blends Quartet, Celestial is inspired by a whisky from the 1960s with both an extravagant flavour profile and an equine theme.
Celestial accentuates the smokiness of its forebear, drawing on malt whiskies from the Ardbeg and Caol Ila distilleries, two parcels we previously brought together six years ago for the original No Name.
Heavyweight peat smoke, starting with beach bonfire and building to coastal smokiness. Gingery richness, vanilla and grilled apples behind, with a dry and oak-forward palate, leading to meaty smokiness.
Our latest and last in the Extinct Blends Quartet
Celestial takes to the sky through billowing clouds
and glittering constellations, inspired by a whisky
from the 1960s with both an extravagant flavour
profile and an equine theme. The peatiest of the
Extinct Blends Quartet, and our most expansive,
Celestial offers a depth of flavour and maturity that
has become the series’ hallmark.
