The second and very fancy (and pricy as well) release of the "Extinct Blends Quartet" from Compass Box, was this "Delos". Of course i got my hands on it after absolutely enjoyed the first expression, Ultramarine. This second chapter tells the story of a not so long extinct blend from their own company, the Compass Box Asyla, (which is so common that i didn't even know it was gone in 2018), a higher abv spin-off of that blend gets the name of Delos, a verybold Greek Island, where beautiful mosaics still exist even if the island is deserted. Actually this is a mythological island that the Greeks once believed rised from under the sea because the sea god Poseidon lift it up using his trident by order of Zeus, just for his children Apolo and Artemis to have a place to play. Well the fancy bottling comes at 49%abv, and let's see if it is as good as Ultramarine was. On the nose, this is super-mega-hiper fruity. Pear, green apples, pineapple, banana, lemon and fruitspice. A little sugary and glazed. After a sip, the aroma changed into a more yeasty profile: a small town bakery shop and spongy cakes. On the palate, it was not super impressive, but fairly good. Creamy, spicy; stewed apples, bananas. More sips revealed a ghostly hint of smoke. Aftertaste was undoubtedly the best part. A dry, red chilli sensation; with mineral, sulphur and metallic notes. Cough syrup, smoky and greasy. Beautiful stuff here. Overall i wasn't the best fan of Asyla back in the day, and i think this second release is inferior to Ultramarine. Having said that this is not a bad whisky at all, the score feels a little higher that what it should be, and that is because it scored good points on the finish. For the price it was sold, this is not the best deal out there, but i believe this can gain value overtime with the whole collection. A honest rate for it is 89 over 100, it was very near to achieve the 90 points but it didn't make it.
