The Brisbane 5Yr Batch 1 Adelphi 57.50% 700ml

$299.99

Continuing a theme of contemporary collaborations, beginning with last year’s ‘Glover’ (an uber expensive Japanese-Scotch blend), and a Scotch-Indian hybrid, here’s another ambitious cross-country exercise: This time Adelphi looked south, sourcing three Apera (sherry) casks from Starward in Melbourne, fusing them with two Spanish oak ex-Sherry hogsheads from Glen Garioch (Highlands, Scotland) and part of one ex-Sherry butt from Glen Grant.

Description

Sherry sweetness on the nose with mild alcohol prickle. Spiced raisins and hints of banana cake? 3-4 minutes accents dark chocolate and stewed orchard fruits (pears?). Intense, warming, oily whisky. Sweet, spicy fruit cake and bitter chocolate build with a flare of heat and pepper. More dried apricot?…The aftertaste evokes Speyside with muted stone fruits, brandy cream and faint beeswax. A brawny, vibrant blend that easily handles a dash of water, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
