Miltonduff 1982/2023 Adelphi Limited 40 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50.4%

Miltonduff 40 Year Old – Adelphi Limited Edition is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland. It was distilled at the Miltonduff distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Adelphi, known for its uncompromising approach to quality and cask selection. The whisky was distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2023, giving it an impressive age of 40 years. It is bottled at cask strength, 50.4%, preserving its natural intensity and complexity. Only 224 bottles were released, making it an extremely rare and sought-after edition among collectors and enthusiasts.

This whisky was matured in a first-fill sherry hogshead, a type of cask that contributes deep and complex flavor notes. The color is pale gold, reflecting both its long maturation and the influence of the sherry cask. On the nose, it reveals mineral tones, paraffin, and oily lemon, creating an elegant and slightly old-fashioned aroma that speaks to its age and finesse.

The palate is rich and layered with notes of stewed fruits, citrus zest, and overripe figs, offering a sweet and fruity profile. Green malt spice adds a fresh and herbal dimension, while a hint of bitterness balances the whole and adds depth. The finish is long and complex with floral notes of gorse blossom, a warm spicy touch of ginger, and a hint of white pepper, providing a lively conclusion.

The mouthfeel is velvety and refined, with a harmonious blend of ripe fruits, cream, citrus, and almond. The extended maturation has rounded all elements and created a whisky of great elegance and character.

Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 40%

Mortlach 2007/2022 Signatory Vintage – 15 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, 51.8%

When Mortlach 2007 from Signatory Vintage hits the palate, an unparalleled complexity is instantly revealed. The initial notes carry deep, rich layers of raisins and dried plums—classic sherry accents that envelop the tongue with a luscious sweetness. Then it unfolds with warm, spicy nuances of toasted oak, cinnamon, and dark syrup, creating a full-bodied and almost dessert-like profile. In the background, subtle hints of walnut, cocoa, and a touch of coffee add depth and a delicate bitterness, all beautifully aligned with the whisky’s natural strength.

The tannic structure from the sherry cask lends a pleasant dryness that contrasts with the sweet fruit notes, offering both balance and finesse. The high alcohol volume of 51.8% contributes intensity and power without overshadowing the layered complexity of the flavour.

The finish is long, lingering, and warm—like a velvet glove with an edge. Here, notes of black tea and orange zest emerge, presenting a bitter, aromatic profile that slowly melts into traces of leather, tobacco, and spiced marmalade. Everything rounds off with a subtle bitterness that elegantly balances the initial sweetness, creating a harmonious conclusion that invites introspection and reflection.

Mosgaard 8 Year Whiskymessen 2026 Oloroso Quarter Cask Single Malt Danish Whisky 50 cl 59.8%

Mosgaard 8 Year Whiskymessen 2026 Oloroso Quarter Cask is a Danish single malt with a pronounced sherry influence and a concentrated character that only a small quarter cask can deliver. The whisky opens with deep notes of dark raisins, dried fruits, walnuts and a clear Oloroso sweetness. Layers of dark chocolate, orange peel and a lightly spiced oak note reveal both age and cask type. The high strength lifts the aromas and creates an intense, warm nose.

The palate is full-bodied, rich and oily. The Oloroso cask contributes powerful notes of dried fruit, figs, caramel and dark syrup, while the distillate itself adds malt depth, spice and a subtle nutty tone. The high alcohol strength of 59.8% brings a marked warmth, yet it is well integrated and carries the flavour without overshadowing the nuances. Hints of cinnamon, roasted almonds and a deep, almost wine-like sweetness also appear.

The finish is long, warm and persistent with dark fruits, sherry, oak and a light bitterness from the cask that balances the sweetness. The small cask size has accelerated maturation and created a whisky with both depth and intensity, without feeling over-aged. It is a powerful, sherry-driven dram with clear identity and impressive complexity.

This bottling is created exclusively for Whiskymessen 2026 and is signed by Mosgaard’s new Master Distiller, Kim Møller-Elshøj.
