Adelphi exist to identify the very small number of casks that have produced the ultimate whiskies. The criteria for selection include rarity and maturity, but above all flavour. These whiskies are both rare and sought-after – these very special casks are so rare that, on average, Adelphi accepts a mere 4% that it is offered. Each single cask of whisky matures its contents very differently, imparting its own character to the whisky it holds and, as a result, there are never two Adelphi’s quite the same.

An independently bottled single malt from an undisclosed distillery in the Highlands which was distilled in 2009 and has spent 12 years in ex-Sherry casks. Bottled at 55.2% ABV. We’re pretty sure this one’s a Blair Athol, the quality is there!
