We assessed Whisky Review: Compass Box Delos Blended Scotch Whisky and bottled at 49% ABV), SRP $325, Product of Scotland. At $325, Product of Scotland, it carries the weight of expectation.
Nose
On the nose are delicate fragrant notes of pear, honeysuckle, and lemon citrus, with clean hints of white grape and softly misted fresh-cut sawdust. The approachably pleasant nose is fragrant and clean, with a creamy mouthfeel and a moderate finish that slightly drops off at the end. The flavor profile is more minimal than overly complex, without much depth of character. Overall, this expression offers more of a gentle than robust blended whisky experience, which may appeal to those new to scotch whisky.
Palate
The light-bodied palate offers soft notes of sweet perfume, honeycream, and skim milk, with subtle hints of caramel and baking spices on the backend.
