 Founded
in 1826, the Adelphi Distillery is one
of Scotland’s most acclaimed independent
bottlers of single casks of rare malt
whisky.
The Adelphi Distillery was built in 1826
on the banks of the River Clyde in what
is now the heart of Glasgow. The two
acre site had been an orchard, fronted
by a wharf, and by the 1880's, when
Archibald Walker bought the company, it
was one of the most advanced and
productive distilleries in Scotland.
In 1993, the great-grandson of Archibald
Walker, Jamie, revived the Adelphi name
as an independent bottler. Jamie was
determined not to sacrifice quality for
volume, and he was equally adamant that
this should be continued when he sold
the company in 2004.
Under new ownership, Adelphi continues
to bottle straight from the finest casks
without colouring or chill filtration.

Why Choose Adelphi
|
- Adelphi whisky is bottled direct
from a single cask. These casks have
been selected from the top 10% of
casks filled by the single malt
distillery.
- The whisky is at cask strength
meaning it is stronger than
proprietary brands (usually bottled
at 40%). Adelphi malts start at
around 50% by volume.
- The whisky is NOT chill filtered
as we feel that this would spoil the
unique taste of a single cask
bottling. This does mean that when
water is added, it will go slightly
cloudy.
- The whisky is NOT coloured in
any way as the natural colour gives
a better idea of what type of cask
it has been in and caramel would
affect the taste of the whisky.
- No dilution has taken place
until the customer adds water which
then releases the flavour. We
recommend up to three to one
(water/whisky) but individual
palates should be respected.
- Single cask bottlings are very
rare - ranging from 200-600 bottles
from each cask. The taste cannot be
repeated once a cask is finished.
