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.
