A Blended Scotch Whisky from Adelphi, perhaps better known as an independent bottler. However, this blend of grain and malt whisky is from its private stock which is kept in a solera system. Though exactly where the whisky hails from is kept rather hush-hush, we suspect it contains spirit from all over the shop, from Islay, Speyside, and Campbeltown.
The aroma is a pleasing fusion of salty peat and estery fruitiness. If you like your big fruits Speysiders and your peaty Islays this could be just your thing!
The palate takes on a coastal quality with an all-round nuttiness and a medium-body.
The finish is long with beach bonfire notes and some pear-drop flavours.
This blend takes the best of Scotland and fuses it into something new. A truly excellent blend.
I am usually more of a single malt fan, but this blend is absolutely fantastic, For the price this can't be easily beat. If your a big fan of islay then I urge you to try this, it may lack the complexity of lagavulin but it is exactly what you ask for from an islay with a heavy medicinal peat that rides all the way to the finish.
