Compass Box The Extinct Blends Quartet Series - Delos

With Delos after Ultramarine, Compass Box presents the second bottling of “The Extinct Blends Quartet”. The quartet is inspired by forgotten flavors that Compass Box revives based on some of its most valuable whisky holdings. The role model for Delos: the 2018 discontinued Compass Box Asyla. The lively character of the blend is now being resurrected. Old and rare whisky components contribute to this. Glen Elgin, Imperial and Miltonduff distilleries provide the malt portion with notes of exotic fruits and vanilla from American oak. Lush and fragrant grain whisky from Cameronbridge preserves the delicate mouthfeel that was once Asyla's trademark. For those who wonder why Asyla isn't being reissued: As of ancient mosaics, such as the Greek one Island of Delos, too many parts are missing to restore the blended scotch as a permanent part of the range.
