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. |

31 year old Speyside 44.8 % vol
This is a treat! It comes from a refill hogshead and is the colour of old Sauternes. The nose is immediately ‘elderly’ - sandalwood and sawdust – but this is soon replaced by scents of Eve’s Pudding (apple sponge) then Madeira cake, with glacé cherries, decorated with glacé Angelica root.

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 |

|
14 year old Highland 57.0 % vol
fruit salad to start with (apples and pears, but also a hint of bananas and mandarin juice – sweet and fresh. Behind this a dusty scent of very pure chocolate (85% cocoa), which develops into liqueur chocolate after a while. 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.

26 year old Islay 55.8 % vol
Another splendid old Caol Ila from Port Askaig. It comes from a refill hogshead and is mid gold in colour, with a moderate bead.
The nose is mellow and mineral-like, fresh and somewhat dry. First dentists mouthwash, then some lemon grass. LIMITED STOCK |

22 year old Speyside 62.1 % vol
It is drawn from a first-fill, ex-bourbon Hogshead and has the colour of old polished mahogany. The nose is prickly and takes a while to yield its secrets: first red wine vinegar, then glacé cherries, glacé kumquats and angelica root, and finally vanilla sponge. 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. |
