  Lochlea 2018/2024 Adelphi Selection 5 Years Old Single Highland Malt Whisky 59,2%

  Item no.: 22227865438-19854

  From a farm where Scotland's national poet once walked behind the plough comes a rare single cask at full strength.

  Expert description

  Lochlea 2018/2024 Adelphi Selection is a Single Highland Malt Whisky, distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2024 after 5 years of maturation at cask strength 59.2%, selected by independent bottler Adelphi Selection. The whisky comes from Lochlea, an independent, family-owned farm distillery in Ayrshire in the Lowlands, which has been distilling single malt whisky since 2018. The farm has a long agricultural history — between 1777 and 1784, Scotland's national poet Robert Burns lived here and worked the land. The McGeoch family ran a dairy operation until 2014, when they decided to convert the farm into a distillery instead. The buildings have been repurposed from their original use: the former piggery, byre and midden now house mashing, fermentation and distillation, while the old cattle sheds serve as warehouses. The barley for the whisky is grown on the distillery's own 222 acres.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers grain, honey and a hint of fresh fruit.

  Palate

  The palate is powerful with malt, caramel and spice.

  Finish

  The finish is long, warm and grainy.

  Smögen 2013/2023 Adelphi Selection 10 years old Single Malt Swedish Whisky 70 cl 58.1%

  Item no.: 059763-615-657

  On Sweden's west coast, where the Skagerrak meets land by the tiny fishing village of Smögen, a lawyer with a taste for smoke distils his own spirit in one small copper still. This ten-year-old single cask left that still in 2013, was bottled by independent bottler Adelphi Selection in 2023, and only 232 bottles exist.

  The Expert's Description

  Smögen 2013/2023 Adelphi Selection is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a first-fill bourbon cask and bottled at 58.1%.

  Smögen distillery was founded in 2009 by lawyer and whisky author Pär Caldenby, who insisted on one thing from the start: the whisky had to be heavily peated. Production runs in small batches through a single, small copper still, giving the distiller tight control over every batch and a result packed with character.

  This particular release was distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2023 after ten years of maturation in cask #58, a first-fill bourbon cask selected by Adelphi Selection's team for its series of independent bottlings. The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and with only 232 bottles released, it belongs to whoever is quick and curious enough to find it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dry smoke meets fresh bourbon vanilla, with sea salt and tarred rope close behind. Underneath sits a sweetness of honey and ripe pear that keeps the smoke from taking over entirely.

  Palate

  Powerful and cask-strength intense from the first sip, with smoke, black pepper and burnt sugar in tight interplay. The bourbon cask shows clearly through vanilla and coconut, while coastal salt adds a maritime edge.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with lingering smoke, toasted oak and a dry, ashy close that invites another sip.

  Medium. Smögen ranks among the most sought-after Scandinavian distilleries with collectors, and with only 232 bottles from this particular cask, it will not be easy to find again once it is gone. The peated house style and Adelphi's name on the label both work in this bottle's favour.

  Did You Know?

  Smögen produces under 35,000 litres a year, making it one of the smallest distilleries in the Nordics. Pär Caldenby, the man behind it, wrote a book about enjoying malt whisky long before he ever distilled a drop of his own.

  Spirit of Yorkshire 2018/2023 Adelphi Selection 5 år Single Malt English Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 059763-615-654

  Just north of Filey Bay on the Yorkshire coast, a distillery grows its own barley and fills it into cask a few hundred metres from the field. This bottling is drawn from a single Moscatel hogshead by Adelphi, one of Scotland's most experienced independent bottlers, offering a rare look at the distillery's early, energetic style.

  Expert's Description

  Spirit of Yorkshire 2018/2023 Adelphi Selection 5 Year Old is a Single Malt English Whisky matured in a first fill Moscatel hogshead and bottled at 48%.

  The distillery on Filey Bay is Yorkshire's first of its kind, growing and malting its own barley, distilling and maturing it all on the same family farm in Hunmanby. This single cask was distilled in 2018 and drawn from cask number 3054 in 2023, giving the Moscatel wood five years to leave its mark on the spirit. The release is limited to 330 bottles.

  Adelphi has spent twenty years building its reputation as an independent bottler on exactly this kind of find: young distilleries, unusual casks, and bottlings released without colouring or chill filtration, letting the spirit speak for itself.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose opens with cinnamon and honeycomb, quickly followed by orange marmalade and a dusting of dark cocoa. Underneath the sweetness sits a faint cereal freshness that hints at the whisky's youth.

  Palate

  The palate is warm and spiced, carrying dried fruit, marzipan and a tart edge of citrus peel. The Moscatel cask lends a wine-like sweetness that ties the cinnamon and honey together.

  Finish

  The finish is medium in length, dry, faintly peppery, with a last trace of honey cake.

  The Brisbane by Adelphi 5 years old Fusion of Australian and Scotch Malt Whisky 70 cl 57,5%

  Item no.: 22227865449-8076

  Two continents, one glass. Australian malt meets Scotch heritage in a bottling that challenges the very definition of whisky.

  Expert description

  The Brisbane by Adelphi is a 5 year old fusion of Australian and Scotch malt whisky, bottled at cask strength at 57.5% ABV by the independent Scottish bottler Adelphi.

  A "fusion whisky" here means that whisky distilled in Australia has been blended with Scotch malt whisky from Glen Garioch and Glen Grant, two prominent Highland and Speyside distilleries, creating a bottling that bridges two whisky worlds on opposite sides of the globe.

  Only 925 bottles of this fusion were produced, with no added colouring and no chill filtration, allowing the raw interplay between the Australian and Scotch components to come through in full.

  Adelphi Distillery was founded in 1826 by the River Clyde in Glasgow, closed in the early 1900s, but was revived in 1993 as an independent bottler when a grandson of a former owner brought back the name with a philosophy of bottling only the very best casks.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Tropical fruit and eucalyptus from the Australian component meet dry Highland malt and a touch of hay.

  Palate

  Bold and cask-strength driven, with honey, toasted nuts and an exotic fruit sweetness unusual for Scotch whisky.

  Finish

  Long, warm and spiced, with a final hint of citrus peel and wood.

  The Glover by Adelphi 6 years old Fusion of Japanese and Scotch Malt Whisky 70 cl 57.6%

  Item no.: 059763-615-184

  Two whisky cultures, one glass. The Glover by Adelphi tells the story of Scotland and Japan through malt, fire and time, named after a Scotsman who helped open Japan to the world more than 150 years ago.

  Expert description

  The Glover by Adelphi 6 Years is a Fusion of Japanese and Scotch Malt Whisky, bottled at full cask strength of 57.6% ABV by independent whisky merchant Adelphi in collaboration with Fusion Whisky.

  The series is named after Thomas Blake Glover, a Scottish businessman who played a central role in Japan's industrial opening to the West in the 19th century and is still celebrated in the country today. The Glover range bridges the two whisky cultures by uniting Scotch malt whisky with rare Japanese malt whiskies in a single bottle.

  This 6-year-old expression combines malt whisky from Scottish distilleries with sought-after Japanese spirit, creating a whisky that spans two traditions without sacrificing the character of either.

  The release is limited to 460 bottles, making it a rare opportunity to taste this crossover between two whisky worlds.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with lingering spice and a dry, lightly smoky close.
