Adelphi exist to identify the very small number of casks that have produced the ultimate whiskies. The criteria for selection include rarity and maturity, but above all flavour. These whiskies are both rare and sought-after – these very special casks are so rare that, on average, Adelphi accepts a mere 4% that it is offered. Each single cask of whisky matures its contents very differently, imparting its own character to the whisky it holds and, as a result, there are never two Adelphi’s quite the same.
This Armagnac was drawn from a French oak barrique, displaying a moderate bead and mahogany in colour.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The spice-laden nose is rich with sweet vermouth, damson jam, parma violets, black forest gâteau, panettone and aniseed.
Palate: Herbaceous rosemary, cherry cola, blackberry coulis, Old Spice and Fernet Branca.
Finish: A lingering finish rounds this off wonderfully.
