Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Adelphi: A little nose prickle to start, faintly mineralic, flinty and waxy, possibly waxy sweet cakes, frosted icing and ripe banana skins (again typical of the make). After a while, a fruity note appears, lychees or mangosteen, and Turkish Delight. Finally, the maritime notes appear with clam shells on a beach. |
| Taste |
| Adelphi: Candle wax increases in the taste, both oily and sweet, with herbs, honey roast ham (quite meaty) and melting icing sugar, orange and cinnamon. With water it becomes quite peppery. |
| Finish |
| Adelphi: Smooth with a big texture, mouth-filling, teeth coating - eveyrthing you'd expect from Clynelish. |
