Compass Box Extinct Blends Quartet - Delos Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
Delos transforms the blueprints for Compass Boxes own Extinct Blend, Asyla. All American oak, an older character, and a sumptuous balance of malt and grain whiskies. First created in 2001, Asyla was the ethereally beautiful cornerstone of Compass Boxes core range until its retirement in 2018. With Delos the focus is on capturing Asyla's vibrancy and soothing sweetness, turning to older stocks to achieve this.
Tasting Notes:
A sweet succulence that breaks upon the nose in soft waves: ripe pear, pineapple, orange oil and vanilla cream. A medley of fruit tarts and white chocolate soothe the palate, while the maturity of the component whiskies gradually builds to reveal guava, heather honey and chai spices.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with warm honey highlights and a sunlit, coppery glow.
Nose
Sweet succulence unfurls on the nose in soft waves: ripe pear, pineapple, orange oil and vanilla cream, a luminous, creamy-fruited perfume.
Palate
Silky sweetness coats the palate with fruit tart brightness and white chocolate cream. As the blend blooms, guava and heather honey emerge, lifted by gentle chai spices, all touched by a soft, aging-oak warmth that lingers gracefully.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with creamy vanilla and orange zest giving way to pear and guava. The sweetness lingers into honeyed heather, chai spice and a gentle oak kiss, warming the palate as the flavors slowly fade into a velvet, softly persistent glow.
