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.
This independent bottling has been sourced from the Blair Athol Distillery in the Highlands of Scotland where it was distilled in 2008. It was then placed in a single first-fill Sherry cask and left to mature for 12 years before it was bottled at 56.5% abv in 2021. Outturn of only 301 bottles.
