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 undisclosed distillery before being placed in arefill Pedro Ximenez sherry butt and left to mature for 12 years. In 2019 it was bottled at 52.7% abv as part of the Adelphi Breath of Highlands series.

Only 556 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
