Description

1825 saw the official opening of the Adelphi distillery in the Gorbals, Glasgow, but after changing hands a smattering of times throughout the mid to late 1800's, it finally ended up in the hands of DLC in 1902.

The fruit and dark chocolate give this Ben Nevis a rich centre, while cloves and the cumin spiciness keep it firmly on the savoury, spicy side.

The spicy heat sounds like a notable part of the palate, so this feels more about energy and flavour than easygoing smoothness.
