Adelphi 'The Sandebud Fusion' 6 Year Old

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Ardnamurchan & Adelphi Tasting, 01 April 2022. Hosted by GSC, and presented by Graeme Mackay and Connal MacKenzie from Adelphi). Nose: Floral, hay, charred, wood shavings, lemon cheesecake, furniture polish, light wet peat Palate: Woody, lemon/citrus sweets, hay, damp peat, BBQ smoke, sweet, cherries and cocoa notes Finish: Medium short finish. Souring on the finish. Peat, chocolate cherries, and wood. This is a blend of 2x 1st fill bourbon barrels of peated High Coast whisky from Sweeden and 2x unpeated sherry hogsheads of Ardnamurchan distilled in 2015. Blended at St. George's Distillery in Norfolk, England (teaspooned). Smoke and wood, cherries and chocolate. The lemon sweeties and chocolate cherries come first, then a nice hit of the damp BBQ smoke and peat. Meaning, the peat comes through very much as a secondary note - unusual. Lovely dram! Came second out of the six drams, with 17% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 74% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky
