Out of stock
Celestial is inspired by a whisky from the 1960’s with both an extravagant flavour profile and an equine theme. The peatiest of the Extinct Blends Quartet (with the help of some 19 YO Ardbeg) it offers a depth of flavour and maturity which has become the series hallmark.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-amber with luminous golden highlights and a deep mahogany edge.
Nose
Peat-rich and maritime on the nose, with a medicinal edge and a gentle iodine lift. Aged sherry sweetness unfolds alongside dark cacao, fig, and orange zest, while vanilla, toasted oak and leather lend depth. The aroma is grand and poised, hinting at age and a smoky, regal richness.
Palate
Peat takes center stage, smoky and medicinal, carried by a robust sherry sweetness. Fig and raisin mingle with cherry, while cocoa, leather and espresso weave through a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel. Aged depth from the Ardbeg influence lingers into a long finish, with maritime smoke, spice and a final ember of sweetness.
Finish
Long, sultry finish of peaty smoke and maritime salt, carried by sherry richness. Cocoa, leather and toasted almond echo on the tongue, while warming spices linger beneath a restrained oak, fading to an ember-dry glow that lingers with quiet sophistication.
