 Once one of Scotland's most technically advanced distilleries, producing some 510,000 gallons of whisky per annum, the Adelphi Distillery went out in style - tales of the Great Gorbals Disaster of 1906 tell of men, women and horses fleeing a tidal wave of semi-fermented 'wash' caused by the collapse of the distillery's nine great washbacks. One poor man and several horses were swept to an untimely, alcoholic grave.
Revived in the 1990's, Adelphi is now one of Scotland's most acclaimed independent bottlers of specially selected casks of rare malt whisky from other distilleries. Each single cask matures its precious contents very differently, and as a result, there are never two Adelphis quite the same. No matter whether the cask has come from a famous distillery or a lesser-known name, these unique whiskies have married exceptionally well with the wood. These truly special casks are so rare that on average, Adelphi accepts a mere 4% of the whiskies that it is offered.
Adelphi bottles straight from the cask without colouring or chill-filtration. This allows the true and unadulterated flavours of the whisky to remain locked in until released into the glass - with each bottling limited, by the size of the cask, to between 100 and 700 bottles, Adelphi-selected whiskies are both rare and highly sought after.
Usually available in 10cl 'nightcaps', 35cl 'Bordelaise' and 70cl bottles.
