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 2007 at an unknown or undisclosed distillery on one of the Scottish islands. It was then placed in a refill ex-sherry cask and left to mature for 14 years. In 2021 it was bottled at 58.3% abv as part of the Adelphi ‘Selection’ Series.
Only 1020 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
