Compass Box Delilah's XXV is a special limited-edition blended Scotch whisky crafted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Delilah's, the legendary punk rock bar in Chicago founded by Mike Miller. This expression represents a unique collaboration between Compass Box founder John Glaser and Miller. The blend incorporates a portion of the original Delilah's blend from 2013 (which was aged in active American oak casks) that was further matured in Spanish Sherry casks, combined with single malt whiskies from Teaninich, Linkwood, and Glen Elgin. The result is a beautifully complex spirit that bridges the energy of punk rock culture with the sophisticated art of Scotch blending, offering rich notes of vanilla, baking spices, and dried red fruits.
