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 BenRiach distillery where it was distilled in 1999. It was then placed in a refill bourbon barrel and left to mature for 21 years before it was bottled at 59.9% abv in 2020. Outturn of only 182 bottles.
