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 2003 at the Mortlach Distillery before being placed in a 1st Fill Bourbon cask and left to mature for 17 years. In 2020 it was bottled at 57.6% abv as part of the Adelphi Selection Series.

Only 224 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
