Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают Metropolis Blended Scotch Whisky CB как сложный и хорошо сбалансированный бленд с фруктово-сладкой основой, ванилью, тоффи и лёгкими дымными/солёными нюансами. Мнения о теле и балансе расходятся: часть отмечает лёгкость и избыток специй или зерновую прямоту.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как фруктовый и сладкий бленд с выраженной ванилью, мёдом, тоффи и карамелью. Среди фруктовых нот упоминаются абрикос, ананас, яблоко, спелая груша, дыня, цитрусовые, а также джемовые и тёмные фрукты. Несколько отзывов отмечают сливочно-маслянистую текстуру, шоколадные и ореховые оттенки, а также лёгкую дымность, пепельность и солёность в финише. Финиш в ряде описаний назван длинным, сливочным, с шоколадом, лакрицей и солёно-ореховыми нотами.
При этом оценки и впечатления не полностью совпадают: есть указания на лёгкое тело, избыток специй во вкусе, «слишком зерновой» характер, а также на то, что образец понравился, но бутылку покупать не обязательно. Часть отзывов подчёркивает сложность и многослойность, другие — лёгкость и лёгкую питкость. Общего единодушного вывода о балансе или теле напитка из текстов не следует.

"Our blending skills are amazing, right?" Personally, when I was writing a review, it was one of those bottles that was hard to put into words because it felt so many different nuances. It’s a fun whiskey that brings out the good notes while also controlling the notes that could easily come across as off-notes, so that you can feel various complex nuances. Even while drinking, the complex feelings shout out that this is the advantage of blended. Compass Box’s spec sheet lists where the various nuances come from, so it’s a whiskey that makes it even more fun to write personal notes and then refer to where similar notes come from.

| Нос | 89 | Toffee / Floral / Perfume / Milk Chocolate / Vanilla / Banana Pudding / Green Apple / Ripe Apple / Pear / Melon / Pineapple / Orange / Lemon / Mint / Cinnamon / Grain Powder / Wax - The scent is soft and gentle with little buzz, but has a slightly sour feel to the nose. - A strong sweet scent full of a hazy feeling reminds me of toffee. A sweet scent that is a little heavier than honey and seems to be mixed with creaminess. It is also full of florality, so if it was light without creaminess, it would have felt like heather honey. The florality approaches at first like a fresh wildflower, but as you focus on the scent a little more, you feel a strong perfume-like freshness. - The creaminess mentioned above meets the bitterness, leaving a nuance of milk chocolate, and the very strong vanilla gives a feeling like banana pudding. - The fruity flavor has the strongest apple nuance, with the refreshing green apple and the slightly sweet ripe apple nuances felt at the same time. A slightly cool scent is added, and Western pear also comes to mind. The pineapple nuance is mixed in appropriately, giving a tangy feeling and a tropical fruit nuance, while the citrus of orange and lemon balances it out. - The slightly spicy mint and cinnamon notes also help balance it out, and the nutty grain powder notes are the base. Although not strong, there is a waxy note mixed in, allowing for a variety of layers. |
| Вкус | 87 | Fragrance / Floral / Heather Honey / Toffee / Nuts / Ripe Apple / Pineapple / Coconut / Apricot / Lime / Lemongrass / Grass / Salted Dark Chocolate / Ginger / Cinnamon / Ash / Hint of Smoky - As soon as it enters your mouth, you can feel the perfume or floral scent very strongly. When you put a little more in your mouth, you can feel the perfume nuance very strongly, and when you put it in as you normally drink, you can feel the floral scent of wild flowers strongly. There is a difference in degree depending on the amount, but you can feel it at the same time. - The floral and honey-sweetness are strong, reminding me of heather honey, but there is a slightly watery, thin feeling. The sweetness is accompanied by a hazy feeling and oiliness of nuts, reminding me of toffee. The hazy feeling is mainly felt as if it came from the ashes of a firewood that had burned down, and there is a very slight smoky feeling. - The fruit has a strong nuance of ripe apple similar to the scent, with a slight pineapple nuance mixed in. There is also a slight coconut-like feeling, with a slight stone fruit nuance mixed in, which I personally think feels like an apricot. - The scent is green like grass and focuses on citrus, but it is not strong and reminds me of lime or lemongrass. - Not strong, but a little salty and creamy bitterness come together to remind you of salted dark chocolate. On the tongue, you can feel the spicy taste like ginger, and on the nose, you can feel the scent of cinnamon, completing the kick with spice. |
| Финиш | 86 | Creamy / Honey / Slightly floral / Vanilla / Dark chocolate / Salty / Nutty / Vegetable / Overripe apple / Ash / Seaweed - The finish is medium in length, with most of the nuances fading away by mid-length, but nuances of savory, salty and nutty notes lingering in the mouth. - At first, it comes with a creamy honey nuance. The floralness is strong at first, but quickly fades away, leaving a slight floral feeling. Vanilla is also present, making the layers more diverse. As the creaminess turns bitter, dark chocolate comes to mind. - As time passes, the ash and salty feeling becomes stronger, and the creamy feeling changes to the oiliness of nuts. A slight vegetable-like weak grassy scent and the nuance of overripe, mushy apples remain in the mouth. As the finish approaches the end, the savory and salty taste of MSG, as if eating seaweed soup, is strongly felt in the mouth. |
Nose: grilled, caramelised ananas, dripping with honey. Canned fruit cocktail. Chocolate and a veggie/potato note. Palate: Coconut, milk chocolate, oak spices, peppered cherry. Finish: roasted oak char, long sweet and drying finish.

The top notes are delicate green green apple, aquatic green plants, and preserved yellow apricot. The middle part has a little bit of butter, and more of a frankincense biscuit with a familiar toasty feel. Combined with a little bit of peat in the depths, it is combined into some kind of smoked squid shreds and small dried fish that are a little salty. The honey in the mouth turns to beautiful fruit sugar, which changes quickly, and the second half is laid out by spices and smoke. The overall aroma is complex, with a bit too much spice in the mouth for me (especially since the wine is relatively light-bodied).

Really tasty blend. Musty and aged oakiness on the nose. On the palette is starts off really sweet and sugary. But on the finish it moves into darker fruits and some funkiness. You can tell there are lots of layers to this that you might not see in a typical single malt.

Incredible blend, Compass Box strikes again. Buttery, vannilla, candied apricots and a hint of smoke.
Very well balanced and tasty. More and more fruits after a couple of minutes. Gets better with time. The nose had notes of tea and fruits. Very nice.
