Compass Box 'Delos' Scotch Whisky

Compass Box Delos is a limited blended Scotch from independent blender Compass Box — a grain whisky-led expression that showcases what aged grain whisky contributes to blended Scotch, assembled by John Glaser’s team with a specific focus on the creamy, vanilla-forward, and elegant character of matured Scottish grain whisky.

Compass Box is unusual among independent blenders for producing both blended malts (malt whisky only) and grain-whisky-inclusive blended Scotch expressions. Delos draws on exceptional grain whisky for an expression that challenges the assumption that grain whisky is always lighter or less interesting than malt. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Delos and what is the grain whisky focus?

Delos is a Compass Box expression that uses grain whisky as a principal component — an approach that differs from most Compass Box blended malts which exclude grain whisky. The grain whisky component adds creamy vanilla and smooth texture that is the signature of matured Scottish grain production.

Is Delos a single grain or a blended Scotch?

A blended Scotch — combining grain whisky with malt whisky in the standard blended Scotch format, but with grain whisky as a featured and prominent component rather than a background element.
