Compass Box Delilah's
Nose: Twinings
lemon green tea, vanilla infused honey, braeburn apples, bananas, pink
grapefruit zest, spelt bread dough, oatmeal ice cream, dried chilli flakes,
ground pimento, fresh oak, calamine lotion and a handful of pineapple cubes
from a pick ‘n’ mix.
Palate: Homemade
apple flapjacks, warm squares of baklava, Belazu preserved lemons, honeyed
poached pears, a sarsaparilla ice cream float, cinnamon sticks, cayenne pepper,
freshly chopped ginger and a dry, sweet vinous vivaciousness.
Finish: A fabulous,
full on feisty, long, lush lingerer of a finish.
Summary: Yet
another belting blend from those Willy Wonka’s of whisky at Compass Box. Released
to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary punk whisky bar Delilah’s
in Chicago, and not (just to clear up any confusion) the 45th anniversary of a
certain song from a certain Sir Tom from the valleys. Oh what the heck sing
along everybody! “I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window…”.
