We prove that the spectrum of the linear delay differential equation $ x'(t) = A_{0}x(t)+A_{1}x(t-\tau_{1})+\ldots+A_{n}x(t-\tau_{n}) $ with multiple hierarchical large delays $ 1\ll\tau_{1}\ll\tau_{2}\ll\ldots\ll\tau_{n} $ splits into two distinct parts: the strong spectrum and the pseudo-continuous spectrum. As the delays tend to infinity, the strong spectrum converges to specific eigenvalues of $ A_{0} $, the so-called asymptotic strong spectrum. Eigenvalues in the pseudo-continuous spectrum however, converge to the imaginary axis. We show that after rescaling, the pseudo-continuous spectrum exhibits a hierarchical structure corresponding to the time-scales $ \tau_{1}, \tau_{2}, \ldots, \tau_{n}. $ Each level of this hierarchy is approximated by spectral manifolds that can be easily computed. The set of spectral manifolds comprises the so-called asymptotic continuous spectrum. It is shown that the position of the asymptotic strong spectrum and asymptotic continuous spectrum with respect to the imaginary axis completely determines stability. In particular, a generic destabilization is mediated by the crossing of an $ n $-dimensional spectral manifold corresponding to the timescale $ \tau_{n} $.
