Compass Box The Extinct Blends Quartet Delos Limited Edition Blended Scotch Whiskey 750ml
Inspired by the pursuit of lost flavors, Compass Box The Extinct Blends Quartet 'Delos' is a rare and exceptional blended Scotch whisky that pays homage to the iconic styles of whiskies from the past. As part of the Extinct Blends Quartet, this limited-edition release is named after the ancient Greek island of Delos, symbolizing rebirth and rediscovery. It combines artistry, innovation, and reverence for whisky history, crafting a blend that transports you to a bygone era of flavor.
On the nose, Delos offers a captivating bouquet of tropical fruits, honey, and delicate floral notes. Hints of ripe peaches, pineapple, and apricots are beautifully balanced by vanilla, soft oak, and a whisper of spice. This complex aroma invites exploration and promises a rich, layered tasting experience.
The palate reveals a luxurious mouthfeel with flavors of honey-drizzled fruit, creamy vanilla, and a touch of malt sweetness. There is an underlying elegance of gentle spices—cinnamon and ginger—alongside delicate oak tannins, providing structure and balance. The whisky's depth comes from the expertly selected aged malt and grain whiskies, marrying richness with a smooth, refined finish.
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet malt, fruit, and a subtle kiss of oak, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and warmth.
Available at Fine Drams Market, Compass Box 'Delos' is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry behind blending. This rare and limited whisky evokes a sense of nostalgia while delivering a contemporary experience, making it perfect for savoring on special occasions or as a centerpiece in any whisky collection.
