ABV: 46%
The fourth batch of Adelphi's blended malt is the best to date. This is reported to be considerably older than the label suggests, the majority being quite mature Speyside and Highland whiskies, with only a small amount of 7 year old added to 'freshen' it up - hence the young age statement.
Tasting note: Matured in sherry casks. Pale gold. Evokes suggestions of lemon meringue, honey, sponge cake and mocha while also being pithy, dry and peppery. The sweetness builds with air contact. A medium to full bodied, perfectly rounded malt with flavours of salted oatmeal biscuits, straw and a tangy, oily, keenly balanced finish that resonates in the mouth. Lively and lipsmacking with a classically Speyside profile. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 1,484 bottles released.
