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 the Linkwood distillery which was distilled in 2012 and has spent 9 years in a first-fill Bourbon Hogshead. 304 bottles were produced at 59.9% ABV cask strength.
