Adelphi Blended Scotch Whisky

The best blend at its price range hands down! Strong Campbeltown influence on the nose and then rich honey / toffee on the palate from everywhere else. Not complex, but not boring either. Once this opens up it’s a delight

As a go to bottle for a dram my favourite blend has been Black Label, not any more, this has taken my top blend slot, I have now swapped this for Adelphi. A lovely nutty, smooth and smokey flavour. A wonderful Whiskey from a beautiful part of the world

The nose is sweet with honey and fruit then mild salty peat.
Palate is sharp chilli pepper with walnuts then a taste of fruit
The finish is long with faded pepper but a nice peat and with sweetness in the back.

It's the finest whisky in the world.

I bought this out of curiosity - I like to try blends; some are great value - and at first I was 'meh': drinkable but unexciting. However, it's really grown on me over time. The test is: what do I grab when heading through to the front room for bit of chill time with the paper and the telly, often at the same time. And very often it's this. A bit too much colour, and not an assertive whisky, but at the end of the day very well blended to be smooth, flavoursome and moreish - exactly what you'd want in a standard issue blend.

I don't know if it's changed since April 2015 but I get no peat off this at all. That said, it's definitely growing on me. The greatest test is: which bottle do you reach for when you fancy a tipple? I often reach for this and I own many far more expensive single malts. It's not hugely assertive in any way but it's a nice fruity peppery gingery dram that goes down well with a little water, and I like the packaging too.

Bought this from Whiskey Galore in Christchurch and I will be going back to buy another before they run out. Previously bought a Glen Grant single malt for 15% more and find I prefer Adelphi blended with peat and smoke tastes after the initial sweet fruity tastes. Adelphi costs about 15% more than the basic Dewar's or Grants blended bottles from the local bottle store and is much better. Cheaper than single malt and nearly as nice to drink.

Lacks compexity and depth. Heavy on the grain. Best for mixing with coke

This was recommended to me and it blew my socks off! Tastes like a single malt but it's not, its a blend. One of the best blends I've ever had. Gonna buy 2 bottles next order for sure!

For the price, you can't this with a stick. It is a nice, all rounder, old fashioned and traditional blend. But it has a good Islay smoke, which is slightly vegetal and does suggest Caol Ila. This smoke is sort of in the back, but it jumps out periodically over the course of the drink. This is not for those who add ice. Ice, is for Grouse. This is a perfectly acceptable sipping whisky in it's own right.
