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.
An independently bottled single malt from the Linkwood distillery which was distilled in 2008 and has spent 13 years in a first-fill Oloroso ex Sherry butt. Part of their summer 2021 releases. 586 bottles were produced at cask strength.
