Adelphi Private Stock

Blended Scotch whisky 40 % vol

The aroma presents an interesting meeting of north-east and south-west characteristics; Speyside pear-drops and Islay peat smoke.

The mouth-feel is quite remarkably smooth, gentle and well balanced -"settled"

The tip of the tongue detects traces of salt (Campbeltown? Skye?); the age of the fillings comes over in a mellow mustiness (old trunks), and a trace of walnuts; the sweet-dry balance is well contrived and prevents the whisky cloying; the finish is satisfyingly extenuated. Overall impression is full-bodied and civilised; ideal for evening, even post-prandial drinking.
