The Glover by Adelphi 22 year Fusion of Japanese and Scotch Malt Whisky 53.1%

The Glover is a fantastic blended malt of rare Japanese and Scotch whiskies. Named after Thomas Glover, the 'Scottish Samurai' who moved to Japan and established the company that later became Mitsubishi and Japan Brewery Company. Thomas Glover was the first foreigner to be awarded the 'Order of the Rising Sun' by the then Japanese Emperor to celebrate the relationship between the two countries.
This 22-year-old blended malt contains whisky from a single ex-Sherry hogshead from the closed distillery Hanyu and is blended together for this fusion whisky with an American oak ex-Sherry hogshead from Longmorn and a little from Glen Garioch (ex-Sherry butt). The new series from Adelphi is called The Glover - only 390 bottles have been made of this edition.

Fusion of Japanese and Scotch Malt Whisky

Adelphi
A single ex-Sherry hogshead from the closed distillery Hanyu was selected, to which whisky from an American oak ex-Sherry hogshead from Longmorn was added (making up 35% of the final whisky) as well as a tiny bit of Glen Garioch from an ex-Sherry butt. Only 390 bottles was made.

Adelphi never compromises Only the very best casks are good enough to pass through Adelphi's eye of the needle. When Adelphi tests around 25 casks, only one is approved to be bottled under the Adelphi name. Alex Bruce, Adelphi's manager, and renowned whisky writer Charles Maclean often sit together and test samples from offered casks from different distilleries. But they have to be truly exceptional casks to be approved by Alex and Charles. Less than 4% of the casks pass the test.
Adelphi distillery was founded in 1826 and the distillery was located on the River Clydes on the outskirts of Glasgow. The distillery closed in the early 1900s, but re-emerged as an independent bottler in 1993, when a grandson of one of the former owners started Adelphi as an independent bottler. From the beginning, there has never been any doubt about Adelphi's philosophy: "We only want to bottle the best"! There are very limited quantities released on the market and they are regularly sold out. All, of course, bottled at cask strength, without color and filtration - but that goes without saying.

Adelphi, known for their fantastic bottlings and their high quality. Most bottlings are in Cask Strenght. It is very limited what manager Alex Bruce and whisky expert and writer Charles Maclein approve as good enough for Adelphi to put their name to bottling the cask. The bottlings are from single casks and therefore we often only get a few bottles from the bottlings. It is with great pleasure that we can present these fantastic bottlings.

Adelphi also has their own distillery: Ardnamurchan, which is the westernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. This is a distillery where everything is based on the philosophy of producing the ultimate high quality malt - we look forward to seeing how it develops.
