Tasting Notes
Nose |
Adelphi: Vivid butterscotch to start, fading through mild cheese, possibly cheese cloth or an old dairy, then eucalyptus and sandalwood. Very old fashioned. Dampness in a traditional dunnage maturation warehouse (full of old sherry butts). Hessian coal sacks. |
Taste |
Adelphi: Very sweet to start, drying with more hessian and a mouth cooling eucalyptus. Water emphasises cream cheese and old warehouses - an increasingly old fashioned style of whisky. The hessian is now soaked in old whisky, more like bung cloth. |
Finish |
Adelphi: Sweet to start, then distinctly savoury - the elusive Umami? A remarkable rare old whisky. |
