Adelphi’s Breath of the Highlands 2009 12 Year Old 55.2%

Adelphi is Scotland’s most acclaimed bottler of rare single cask and limited edition single malt whisky. They exist to identify the very small number of casks that have produced the ultimate whiskies. The criteria for selection include rarity and maturity, but above all flavour. Adelphi whiskies are both rare and sought-after - these very special casks are so rare that, on average, Adelphi accepts a mere 4% that it is offered. Each single cask of whisky matures its contents very differently, imparting its own character to the whisky it holds and, as a result, there are never two Adelphis quite the same. This bottling is a 2009 vintage from the Highlands region. Leather, mahogany. Very good bead. Allspice, Pimento Dram, Gammel Dansk, eucalyptus, liquorice, bitter dark chocolate, Angostura bitters, Riesen toffee, redcurrant Camp Coffee, espresso martini, burnt toffee, pine resin, madeira cake.
