  Box Whisky Quercus I Robur Swedish Single Malt Whisky 50 cl 50,8%

  Item no.: 22227865446-651

  Two casks, two wood species, one original whisky. Quercus I Robur is High Coast's experiment with European oak as a finish, a rare chance to taste what the wood species itself means for an otherwise identical whisky.

  The Expert's Description

  Box Whisky Quercus I Robur is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky finished in French oak and bottled at 50.8%.

  The whisky was distilled between 3 and 12 October 2012 and matured for 4.1 years in first-fill bourbon casks, before receiving a 7-month finish in casks of Quercus Robur, the European oak species traditionally used in French and Spanish cask production. Only 8,229 bottles were released in September 2017.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Spiced oak and a dry, lightly tannic aroma, clearly different from the sweeter American casks.

  Palate

  Full-bodied with tones of dried spice, walnut and a light bitter-sweet balance, showing the tighter character of European oak.

  Finish

  Medium length and dry with a lingering spiced wood close.

  Like its sister bottle Quercus I Robur, the whisky was distilled between 3 and 12 October 2012 and matured for 4.1 years in first-fill bourbon casks. It then received a 10-month finish in casks of Quercus Alba, the American white oak species, before only 979 bottles were released in January 2018.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweeter and more open than its sister bottle, with vanilla, coconut and a touch of toasted almond.

  Palate

  Round and creamy with caramel, honey and a soft sweetness, showing the milder tannic profile of American oak.

  Finish

  Soft and relatively short with a final, warm vanilla note.

  High Coast 2012/2021 Adelphi Selection 8 years old Swedish Single Malt Whisky 62,3%

  Item no.: 222278651114-887412

  Alex Bruce and Charles MacLean taste their way through dozens of casks before just one earns the right to carry the Adelphi name. This 8-year-old bourbon cask from High Coast was among the chosen few, bottled at full cask strength of 62.3%.

  The Expert's Description

  High Coast 2012/2021 Adelphi Selection is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and bottled at 62.3%.

  The whisky was distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2021 after nine years of maturation in cask #397, selected by Adelphi's long-standing team around Alex Bruce and renowned whisky writer Charles MacLean. The pair routinely taste through dozens of casks from distilleries such as High Coast, and fewer than 4% pass the test to be bottled under the Adelphi name.

  The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and the full cask strength delivers an intense expression of High Coast's signature style, shaped by the sharp temperature swings by the Ångermanälven river.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Powerful and direct with notes of vanilla, coconut and freshly cut oak, carried by the high strength.

  Palate

  Intense and full-bodied with caramel, toasted nuts and a touch of spiced ginger that holds its balance despite the strength.

  Finish

  Long and warm with lingering notes of vanilla and toasted cask that ring out for a good while.

  Item no.: 22214-887415

  By the icy waters of the Ångermanälven river in northern Sweden stands one of the world's northernmost distilleries. This ten-year-old comes from a single sherry cask, selected by independent bottler Adelphi Selection, with only 320 bottles in existence.

  The Expert's Description

  High Coast 2013/2024 Adelphi Selection is a Swedish Single Malt Whisky matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at 57.1%.

  High Coast Distillery, formerly known as Box, sits by the Ångermanälven river in northern Sweden, where sharp temperature swings drive a fast and intense maturation. The distillery uses both Swedish lager malt and peated malt imported from Scotland, striking a balance between Nordic finesse and classic whisky character.

  This release was distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2024 after ten years of maturation in cask #1527, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask selected by Adelphi Selection's team for its series of independent bottlings. The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured.

  Rich aromas of chocolate, dried fruit and toasted nuts, combined with a touch of smoke and spice.

  Did You Know?

  The distillery changed its name from Box to High Coast to celebrate the nearby UNESCO World Heritage coastline, Höga Kusten. The region's extreme temperature swings make the whisky mature faster than in many other climates.

  The Sandebud by Adelphi 6 years old Fusion of Ardnamurchan and High Coast Blended Malt Whisky 70 cl 58,9%

  Item no.: 222278652214-8874

  Two landscapes, one Scottish and one Swedish, meet in a single glass. The Sandebud is Adelphi's own experiment: a blended malt where a spirit from their own Ardnamurchan distillery marries a spirit from Sweden's High Coast.

  The Expert's Description

  The Sandebud by Adelphi is a Blended Malt Whisky combining Ardnamurchan and High Coast, bottled at 58.9%.

  Adelphi owns the Ardnamurchan distillery, the westernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, and with The Sandebud has paired a spirit from there with a spirit from Sweden's High Coast. The result is an unusual fusion that bridges two landscapes and two distilling traditions in one bottle.

  The whisky is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and with 1,136 bottles it is the most accessible of Adelphi's special series, without compromising the cask-strength intensity the bottler is known for.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  A combination of freshly cut oak and a hint of smoke, hinting at the two spirits' different origins.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and complex with caramel, malt and a light salty, maritime undercurrent that ties the two styles together.

  Finish

  Long and warm with a dry, smoky close that lingers for a good while.
