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 single malt whisky was distilled in 1999 at an unknown or undisclosed distillery before being placed in a refill ex-sherry cask and left to mature for 21 years. In 2020 it was bottled at 48.7% abv as part of the Adelphi ‘Limited’ Series..
Only 176 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
