Adelphi's Islay (Caol Ila) 10yo 700mL
Part of a series of new releases from Adelphi, this single malt hails from the Caol Ila distillery on the remote Isle of Islay in Scotland. A bold and maritime aroma sets the tone for this coastal dram - smoked kippers, cigars and a rustic fishing trawling come to mind. The palate is earthy, with rich notes of black cherries, hickory-smoked brisket and lashings of sea-air infused peat smoke.
Adelphi is one of Scotland’s most revered independent bottlers, known for its uncompromising standards and rare single cask releases. Originally founded as a distillery in Glasgow in 1826, the name was revived in 1993 by Jamie Walker, who began sourcing exceptional casks from across Scotland. Today, Adelphi bottles only a tiny fraction of the casks it evaluates—each chosen for its outstanding character and bottled without chill filtration or added colour. In 2014, they took things a step further by opening the Ardnamurchan Distillery on Scotland’s rugged west coast, blending modern sustainability with traditional craft.
