Compass Box Extinct Blends Quartet Part II Delos, 49%

Price: 325 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

This is a re-creation of Compass Box Asyla using select older whiskies, and the light, fresh, fruity nose showcases a remarkable range with oak shavings, tropical fruits, fresh pineapple, dried apple ring, vanilla cream, lavender, floral notes, fresh linen, peel oils, and oak spices. The satiny, glossy mouthfeel is burgeoning with honey and tangy citrus, candied pineapple, butterscotch, and featherlight spices, concluding with vanilla and gooseberry fool.
