Linkwood 'Adelphi'2015/15yo 700mL
A decade in cask has given this Linkwood a gorgeous, orchard‑driven glow. All poached pear, honeyed barley, and that silky Speyside elegance the distillery is adored for. Adelphi’s single‑cask bottling turns the volume up just enough: bright citrus oils, vanilla cream, and a whisper of toasted oak riding on a confident 56.4%.
The finish is long, clean, and quietly luxurious, like fresh linen warmed by the sun. A beautifully composed Speysider that shows how refined a single cask can be when it’s allowed to simply be itself.
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.
