Whisky Shop | Adelphi's online whisky shop stocks all our current whiskies. When one of our unique whiskies has poured its last drop, it is removed from the shop and allowed to rest quietly in the Whisky Archive.
If you are determined to find an Adelphi that has been removed from the whisky shop, please contact us as it may still be available from one of our national and international stockists' whisky shops.
We also bottle some of our whiskies in 10cl and 37.5cl formats. Please contact us should you require a list of prices and availability. |

15 year old Island 55.6 % vol
This is a powerful whisky, but more ‘fumata’ than ‘smoke-screen’. It comes from a refill hoggie – a pretty active one, judging by the full 15CT gold colour, the big beads and fat legs. The first nose is of fragrant bonfires, with damp green leaves and fruit wood. LIMITED STOCK |

15 year old Single Malt46.0 % vol
The colour is harvest gold, the nose is soft and rich, with pineapple chunks and spiced pears, and an intriguing waxy smokiness, reminiscent of both faded incense and allspice. These aromas hold together well when water is added, joined by oak lactones (whin bushes, coconut), a trace of lemon grass and soft brown sugar. |

23 year old Islay 57.3 % vol
The first nose is mellow and reminiscent of old sail-cloth, with salty, mineral-like notes, acid drops (lending freshness and vitality), and a dusty drawer in an antique desk. LIMITED STOCK |

15 year old Island 56.3 % vol
This is the fifth cask from our secret cellar of rare island malt. The liquid has a deep, faerie gold colour and strong beading. The nose is smoky and very peppery, yet the nose-feel effect is cooling. The overall effect is clean and fresh, like dentists’ mouthwash, bringing to mind wind-swept dunes and sea-wrack strewn beaches.
BRONZE MEDAL MALT MANIACS 2008. LIMITED STOCK.

29 year old Speyside 52.1 % vol
The grand-daddy of them all! And this cask has reached grandpa age, in whisky years. It is an American oak hogshead and has a glorious polished mahogany hue.
A fresh nose, with Speyside pear-drops. Marshmallows behind and mellow soft fruits, brown apples, desiccated coconut and marzipan. |

|
38 year old Speyside47.1 % vol
The nose delights with decaying tropical fruits and a little face cream. Quickly moving to over-ripe kiwi fruit, cape gooseberries, tangy oranges and pomegranates. |

17 year old Speyside 57.0 % vol
We all know how well Mortlach matures in European oak. This example comes from a refill butt and is a sun-bleached polished mahogany colour. It has mighty beading and a mellow nose. A classic ex-sherry butt nose: cake mix, with plenty of peel, glace cherries and butter and a shake of allspice; a hint of eggs and a development towards treacle toffee. LIMITED STOCK |

18 year old Speyside 54.3 % vol
Hot on the heels of its sister cask (no. 5145), this is the 4th sherry butt in the Breath of Speyside range from Adelphi. A rich amber hue, we were immediately struck by how clean this whisky was. A lovely nose of well-aged balsamic vinegar with marmalade, plums and Maraschino cherries in the background. |

27 year old Islay 57.6 % vol
We have always been strong advocates of young Caol Ila whiskies – vibrant, fresh, plenty of iodine and surprisingly sweet. This one, however, has spent 27 years in an American oak hogshead and has taken on a wholly different complexity.
Some mild smoke on the nose, sweet and salty with smoky bacon and cheese wafting through. |
| 
|
8 year old Islay 59.9% % vol
Another young-but-perfectly-formed malt, this time from a refill butt which has bestowed only a pale amber colour to the spirit. A slight nose prickle, then full-on Islay character – more phenolic than one would expect of Bowmore: foot baths, sheep dip, carbolic and Coal Tar soap. |
