After 33 years of maturation in refill ex-bourbon hogshead cask, Adelphi have bottled this whisky at the peak of its maturation, with an expressive aroma and flavour of rich tropical fruit character, spices from the bazaar and exotic woods. Papaya, ripe mango and candied grapefruit notes give a feeling of livelyness uncommon of a whisky of this age. The shades of fruit and spices are carried on a richly mouth-coating texture, lingering flinty and mineralic. Adelphi's selection from the Mortlach distillery are legendary - this example is one of many reasons why.
