Tasting Notes
Nose |
Adelphi: Immediate charred sticks with recently extinguished barbeque and leafy bonfires, this is quite nose-drying with traces of hemp rope and hessian. The smoke becomes more fragrant with time, and blossom notes appear, with salted rum and raisin, raspberry vinegar and roasted salty walnuts. |
Taste |
Adelphi: The taste mirrors the nose - immediately ashy and smoky, becoming more gentle with a lovely fruity sweetness, just a hint of the sea and cherries on an open fire. |
Finish |
Adelphi: The finish is long and warming, plenty of lingering smoke from a steam engine. |
