Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Adelphi: Initially quite dry on the nose (Spanish oak influence), this is immediately replaced with a freshly opened jar of apricot jam, quite marmalade-like now with even more jammy notes, apricot, mango and a hint of orange peel. Star anise appears with honey menthol cough sweets and flaked almonds. |
| Taste |
| Adelphi: On the palate sticky toffee pudding, more almonds, milk chocolate, and now lime marmalade. |
| Finish |
| Adelphi: Sweet jams continue in the finish with just a hint of the 18 years spent in oak. |
