Compass Box Delos.
‘Littered with mosaics and ruined ancient temples, the island of Delos embodies the ideal of a beautiful, classical sanctuary. It is the perfect name for a whisky that reimagines Asyla using antique, rarefied components.
MEDITATIVE, MELLOW & HARMONIOUS
The Extinct Blends Quartet takes inspiration from vanished characters and flavours, reappraising four very different expressions of blended Scotch, using some of their most precious parcels of whisky.
First created in 2001, Asyla was the ethereally beautiful cornerstone of the core range until its retirement in 2018. With Delos, they have focused on capturing Asyla's vibrancy and soothing sweetness, turning to older stocks to achieve this.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
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.
SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Pour into a wine glass and engineer your own island retreat. Make sure some pieces of music and close friends are stowed away too.
