Official tasting notes.
Nose: Is mild, it is there but subtle. Rich Port notes and hints of sweet toffee, definitely a more restrained Adams Whisky, however, absolutely no drop in quality.
Palate: The sweet dark fruits at the start of the palate art typical of a port aged whisky, but they start give way to the beautiful, toasted oak flavours of the cask. The malty tones of the three barleys used are obvious in their influence if not their individual spice. The Spirit itself is allowed to shine through and be the hero here, as the Port cask is the perfect supporting act.
Finish: Is medium to long, sweet, oily, and fruity with hints of plum and blackberry. A very pleasant mouth feel.

Description:
This is Adam’s lowest ABV whisky release to date where they’ve combined some Slosh casks, 20 litre casks and 100 litre casks to find the perfect balance for this Single Malt. Every cask has something different to offer, and once you taste it, the results are quite impressive. To be so bold and flavour forward at such a respectable ABV is a testament to the quality and excellence of the Whisky being produced at Adams.
The Distillery comments;
“We age our whisky in a non-traditional way; using our unique half-filled “Slosh” cask programme, were we half fill casks and roll them around regularly to develop and enhance the whisky. We’ve also batched in some small casks to create a well-balanced whisky”.
