Lead Whiskymaker: James Saxon

Littered with mosaics and ruined ancient temples, the island of Delos embodies the ideal of a beautiful, classical sanctuary. It is the perfect name for a whisky that reimagines Asyla using antique, rarefied components. Malt whiskies from the Glen Elgin, Imperial and Miltonduff distilleries – all from American oak barrels – bring enticing exotic fruit and vanilla notes while lush and fragrant grain whisky preserves the delicate mouthfeel that was Asyla's hallmark.

Reimagining Asyla – our own Extinct Blend

Our Extinct Blends Quartet takes inspiration from vanished characters and flavours, reappraising four very different expressions of blended Scotch, using some of our most precious parcels of whisky.

First created in 2001, Asyla was the ethereally beautiful cornerstone of our core range until its retirement in 2018. With Delos, we have focused on capturing Asyla's vibrancy and soothing sweetness, turning to older stocks to achieve this.

TASTING NOTES

The world’s first luxury whisky. Taking New York by storm in 1909, this legendary whisky has seen it all. Having survived two World Wars and outlived Prohibition, this 25-year-old Scotch whisky was reborn to be saluted and honoured evermore. Because success is a blend, in life and in Scotch.

The first decade of 20th century America saw Chivas 25 burst onto the scene. Alongside the flittering milieu of grand parties and theatrical attractions of Broadway, this luxury whisky took pride of place among the high society of New York. But Prohibition followed in 1920, cutting our 25-year-old Scotch whisky’s reign short. In 2007, we reignited this remarkable blend to recreate the iconic tastes and textures that lay within the original luxury whisky. The pinnacle of blended Scotch whisky was reborn and remains a legend today.

TASTING NOTES

CASK FINISH: Every cask used in Chivas 25 is hand-selected and individually nosed to ensure a rewardingly rich final blend.

NOSE: Enticing fruity aromas of sweet orange and peach lie in this fruity whisky, followed by notes of marzipan and nuts.

PALATE: Hints of rich chocolate orange with a fondant creaminess.

FINISH: Smooth, rounded and luxuriously long.

Manzanita Oaked SoCal Moonshine offers a unique blend of smoothness and depth, crafted with a touch of oak for a rich flavor. This SoCal spirit embodies a blend of tradition and innovation, delivering a distinct taste that captures the essence of the West Coast.

Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, the legacy of Old Fitzgerald lives on in our other wheated Bourbons expressions: Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof.

Koloa Rum is a single-batch, craft distiller and bottler that handcrafts their rums from the finest quality sugarcane and the pure, abundant waters of Kauai, Hawaii. Koloa sources their water from the crisp rainwaters of Mount Waialeale. The nearby mountain peaks and rainforests capture the rainfall as it slowly filters through volcanic strata before reaching a vast underground aquifer. This incredibly pure Kauai water imparts its own unique taste and mouth feel that perfectly complements Koloa's rum. This, combined with the tall cane sugarcane, results in a truly unique and delicious Kauai White, Gold, Dark, Spice and Coconut and Coffee Rum, as well as ready-to-drink Mai Tai, Rum Punch and Pineapple Passion products. Koloa Coconut Rum is crafted from raw Cane Sugar mash, twice distilled at 160 180 ABV in an impressive vintage 1210 gallon steam powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waialeale.

Founded in 1952, the Kumesen Syuzo Distilling Co began distilling spirits made from Long Grain Indica Rice and fermented with native Black Koji. By 1989 Kumesen began to finish their product in Bourbon casks and Kujira was born. Now after 20 years of aging, Kujira Single Grain Rice Whisky has been perfected. Where others supplement grain whisky to increase production, Kujira Single Grain 20 Year is 100% Japanese with Rice from a single distillery, produced in small batches with the same ingredients and centuries old tradition that make Okinawa special.

RYUKYU IS TO JAPANESE RICE WHISKY AS KENTUCKY IS TO BOURBON

Heirloom Alchermes uses warm botanicals like Cinnamon and Clove that are softened with Rose Water and Vanilla Bean. This ancient, warm, dusty liqueur is truly mysterious and to our knowledge, Heirloom Alchermes Liqueur is the only alchermes produced in America. Delicious in a Negroni, an Alkermes Spritz or as a modifier in a sour or fizz.

A fabled potion that dates to the 8th century, Alchermes is known for its healing properties.

The potion traveled from the middle east to Europe, where it became a highly prized beverage. Alchermes is colored with a small insect, Cochineal and is scarlet in color. It has been used not only as an enjoyable drink, but as a confectionary ingredient as well. Historic varieties were made with crushed pearls, silk and gold flakes.

Midleton Dair Ghaelach, which means quite simply, Irish oak, is the result of a six-year exploration by the Midleton Masters into using native oak to mature Irish whiskey. Led by then Master of Maturation, Kevin O’Gorman, the two prerequisites for the project were to source Irish oak in a sustainable way, viable for the long-term, and to craft a new and outstanding style of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. This whiskey is a range of releases that have been matured in barrels made from virgin Irish oak from particular forests across Ireland. The oak selected for each release influences this special whiskey with the true and unique flavour of Ireland. Its provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character. This is a whiskey like no other. The story of each bottle of Midleton Dair Ghaelach can be traced right back to the very oak trees that helped to create its refined and unmistakable taste. Midleton Dair Ghaelach is non-chill filtered, cask strength and natural colour. Distilled, matured and bottled by Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork, Ireland.

At The Balvenie we stay true to our Five Rare Crafts, making whisky the way we always have. Our craftsmen have an intimate understanding of their materials and a desire to make the very best whisky possible. Our process is a combination of expertise, skill and ambition which gives The Balvenie its unique character. It’s the heart and the passion that goes into each bottle. The dedication. The commitment. The obsession. This is what elevates the expert to the extraordinary. It takes skill to make something great. It requires heart to make something extraordinary.

For the 2017 release, The Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 4, David C Stewart MBE carefully selected 23 casks – 13 traditional American oak barrels and 10 European oak sherry butts – from the distillery’s precious aged stocks.

All were transferred to Tun 1509, which sits in Warehouse 24, for several months before bottling. Tun is a rare interpretation of the marrying process and allows our most mature casks of various vintages to come together to create a unique expression of The Balvenie that is greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

Like a storm gathering off the Kintyre coast, our 15 year old Springbank is dark and ominous, but delicious. Best enjoyed after dinner or with your favourite cigar, this is a true classic.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Springbank’s gentle giant. This dram is big and bold with notes of cured meat, barbecued beef jerky, clove, mint, iodine, oxo cube and tinned prunes all evident from the Oloroso cask maturation, while lobster creels hint at Springbank’s characteristic maritime influence.

Palate: The peaty character is now evident with sooty kiln smoke and tobacco leaves prominent in this viscous tipple alongside prunes, walnuts, figs, Demerara sugar, cocoa powder and smoked meats.

Finish: The finish grows and develops with notes of soot, leather and walnuts prominent before easing off like the ebbing tide over one of Kintyre’s pebble beaches.

CLASSIC COCKTAILS

Crafthouse Classic Cocktails are made from the highest quality all-natural ingredients. They All of our ready to drink cocktails contain no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. 

We use only exceptional spirits, collaborating with the finest producers (many of whom are our friends). You will never find malt, low-grade grain neutral spirits or unnamed “brewed alcohols” in our pre-mixed cocktails. 

Each Crafthouse Classic Cocktail is made just as it would be at a cocktail bar. We simply make them in larger batches. It is important to note that unlike many RTD’s (ready to drink) in the market, our cocktails each have their own ABV (alcohol by volume). You would never expect a Moscow Mule and an Old Fashioned to contain the same percentage alcohol, would you? 

Our cocktails in cans are not watered down. They have full and distinct flavor while still maintaining an accessible profile. Carefully curating our lineup, we worked diligently to provide something for every taste, occasion and mood. 

In alignment with our team’s individual concern for the impact on the environment, Crafthouse Cocktails strives to make sustainable decisions. We recently moved to 100% recyclable aluminum for our 200mls bottle and are introducing a new 1.75L bag-in-box option with less packaging. Our 750mls glass bottle is also 100% recyclable and reusable. 

MOSCOW MULE

The Moscow Mule was one of a group of cocktails created in the 1940’s to promote vodka as a spirit in the US. Combining vodka with bold, spicy ginger beer and lime in a unique copper mug, the Moscow Mule cocktail became an instant classic. We make our canned Moscow Mule thoughtfully, using house-made ginger beer with only the highest quality ingredients. As a result, our Moscow Mule in a can has become one of our most popular cocktails.

A Moscow Mule cocktail is often thought of as a summer drink as it’s typically served ice cold and is very refreshing on a hot summer’s day. However, our Moscow Mule bottle is great to enjoy around the holidays as well with its strong ginger flavor. In fact, there are few drinks that combine spicy, sweet, and strong flavors as well as the Moscow Mule cocktail.

Serve a Moscow Mule cocktail over ice, garnished with a fresh mint sprig or lime wheel. A copper mug is the traditional vessel for the Moscow Mule if you have one handy, though a rocks glass works just fine in a pinch.

10.1% ABV ✴ 99 CALORIES PER SERVING. AVAILABLE IN 200MLS CANS.
