      Blended Scotch Whisky - LIMITED EDITION

      Delos follows on from Ultramarine’s lavish seascape, taking its name from a Mediterranean island central to Ancient Greek religion. The inspiration for the second release in the Extinct Blends Quartet is Asyla, one of our own lost whiskies. The label art emerges from the meaning of the whisky’s name, ‘asyla’ being the plural form of ‘asylum’ – a place of safety, sanctuary or retreat. Our perfect retreat, and the image in our minds while refining this latest creation, was a remote sun-kissed island; after researching island sanctuaries, we discovered Delos. 

      For Delos, we have of course returned to whiskies aged in American oak casks. From there, it is a very different balance. A greater percentage of malt whiskies and higher bottling strength drive a fruitier palate and richer texture. Everything is older, too. Whiskies from the Cameronbridge and Glen Elgin distilleries once featured in Asyla and make an appearance in Delos. So, too, do some of the last remaining casks of whisky we hold from the closed Imperial Distillery. An extinct distillery for our own extinct blend.

      Scent and Flavor

      Notes

      A sweet succulence that breaks upon the nose in soft waves: ripe pear, pineapple, orange oil and vanilla cream. A medley of fruit tarts and white chocolate soothe the palate, while the maturity of the component whiskies gradually builds to reveal guava, heather honey and chai spices.
