Adelphi Rum

A Scottish bottling house, best known for whisky, that selects single-cask rum with the same care. Adelphi traces its roots back to a 19th-century distillery, but exists today mainly as an independent bottler travelling the world to find the best single casks. The philosophy stays the same whether it's whisky or rum: choose the cask with your nose, not a brand name.

  • Bottle of Caroni 1997/2023 Adelphi Limited 25 Year Single Cask Trinidad rum
    Item no.: 059763-615-662

    The distillery that closed over twenty years ago lives on through casks like this one - a 25-year-old Caroni growing rarer with every passing year.

    Expert Description

    Caroni 1997/2023 Adelphi Limited is a Single Cask Trinidad Rum, 25 years old, aged on a used hogshead cask, bottled at 56.8%.

    The rum was distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2023 as part of the Adelphi Limited series, part of the Scottish independent bottler Adelphi's selection of rare single cask releases. It is aged on a refill hogshead cask number 25 and is limited to just 204 bottles worldwide. The rum is non-chill filtered, preserving the full character of the Caroni distillate.

    The Caroni distillery in Trinidad closed permanently in 2003, making all remaining Caroni casks an irreplaceable, dwindling resource - one of the most sought-after categories among rum collectors worldwide.

    Powerful, industrial character with tar, rubber and dark fruit.

    Palate

About Adelphi Rum

Adelphi is a Scottish bottling house, primarily known for independent whisky bottlings, which also selects and bottles single-cask rum. For newcomers, it's a good introduction to what an independent bottler actually does — namely selecting the best casks without blending them together; for collectors, Adelphi is interesting because the name comes from a Scottish distillery with roots back in the 1800s, giving the brand a historical weight many newer bottlers lack.

History & Background

The Adelphi name comes from a Scottish distillery originally founded in Edinburgh in the 19th century, which closed in the early 1900s. The name lay dormant for decades until it was revived in the 1990s as an independent bottling house by a descendant of the original founding family. Since then, Adelphi has built a reputation for travelling the world selecting single casks — not just whisky, but rum too — with the same craft-driven approach that once defined the original distillery.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled at various distilleries around the world and then selected cask by cask by Adelphi, often unfiltered and without added color.

Signature Style

Varied, Authentic, Cask-Driven
The flavor varies by source distillery, but a clean, unfiltered cask character is common.
