Ultramarine is the first release in the brand's Extinct Blends Quartet, a series which pays homage to Scotch whisky from the past. For this release, Lead Whiskymaker James Saxon was inspired from blended Scotch whisky from the late 1980s. The featured whiskies in this blend include single malts from Glendullan (1st fill sherry-seasoned butt) and Caol Ila (refill bourbon barrels) as well as grain whiskies from Cameronbridge (recharred hogshead) and Girvan (1st fill bourbon barrel) in addition to other pre-blended stocks and other Scotch whiskies.

Tasting Notes

"Imagine tucking into a dark chocolate bar while walking along the Scottish seaside next to a beach bonfire, then happening upon an herb garden that includes a patch of lemongrass and that's what this whisky smells like. The palate has more of that chocolatey-ness, though more like a spiced hot cocoa, along with orange blossom, smoked almonds, nutmeg, and black tea. The finish is a mix of sweet, smoky, and slightly earthy with a twinge of chocolatey sweetness toward the end. "
