Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Adelphi - The initial nose is surprisingly
sweet - maraschino cherries and cake
mix, then the Islay influence begins to
take over: tarry, faded creosote, smoked
cheese, smoked sausage, and musty
mushroom cellars. |
| Taste |
| Adelphi - Again sweet to taste but with a
blast of smoke when you swallow, almost
like drinking a sweet cigarette. |
| Finish |
| This is a complex, rich whisky, but
never 'in-
yer-face' witha a finish of "smoked
coconut". |
