1987 Adelphi Bunnahabhain 25 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The tastings for the latest batch of Adelphis were limited to 20ml samples - just enough to paint the picture and recommend, but not enough to retaste and confirm our initial impressions. Generally speaking, they represent another first class selection of young and old malts from one of Scotland's top independent bottlers.

Tasting note: Pours an impressive deep polished brass and offers a curious bouquet that's fresh and delicate with potpourri followed by pristine honeyed malt and vanilla. The second pass yields more identifiable sherry character, with semi sweet mince pie notes. So polished and clean after 25 years. Generous, well weighted and vibrant, mid palate delivers an elegantly styled, sherry driven profile that's beautifully balanced, finishing long and spirity. Spicy dried fruit characteristics dovetail into the drying oak. 238 bottles produced. 49.7% Alc./Vol.
