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 2009 at the Benrinnes Distillery before being placed in a single 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead and left to mature for 11 years. In 2020 it was bottled at 57.8% abv as part of the Adelphi Selection Series.
Only 321 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
