✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Part of the highly acclaimed 'Extinct Blends Quartet' by Compass Box, Delos is a masterful homage to the house's retired 'Asyla' expression. Named after the sun-drenched, mythical Greek island of Delos—the legendary birthplace of Apollo—this blended Scotch whisky seeks to recapture an ethereal, vibrant, and classical style. Compass Box crafted this limited edition by sourcing rare, mature single malts from celebrated distilleries like Glen Elgin, Imperial, and Miltonduff, seamlessly combined with aged grain whisky from Cameronbridge. The result is a beautifully nuanced spirit that channels the ghost of blending past, presenting a rich tapestry of antique oak, soft tropical fruits, and a delicate waxiness that recalls the golden era of Scotch blending.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Compass Box er et banebrydende skotsk whisky blending-hus med base i London, grundlagt i 2000 af den amerikanske iværksætter og tidligere vinhandler John Glaser. Virksomheden fungerer som en uafhængig boutique-whiskymager frem for et traditionelt destilleri og udvælger enestående single malt- og grain-whiskyer fra hele Skotland. Her nytænkes blending-kunsten gennem kreativ fadmodning, skræddersyede franske egetræsfade og et kompromisløst fokus på gennemsigtighed. Compass Box har udfordret de traditionelle konventioner i whiskyverdenen med sin progressive filosofi og håndværksmæssige tilgang, hvilket har resulteret i en alsidig portefølje, der hyldes for sin levende innovation og kompleksitet. Blandt husets mest roste signaturaftapninger findes Hedonism, en skelsættende blended grain whisky, samt anerkendte blended malts som The Peat Monster og The Spice Tree.
