Adelphi Speyside Glen Elgin 10 Year Old Single Malt

Adelphi’s Speyside 10 Year Old is distilled at Glen Elgin, a Speyside distillery whose whisky is prized for its soft orchard fruit, malt sweetness and rounded texture. Rather than one of Adelphi’s traditional cask-strength single-cask bottlings, this is a small-batch vatting designed as a more approachable expression of the independent bottler’s style. The whisky spent its decade of maturation in a combination of refill sherry and bourbon casks. The bourbon wood preserves Glen Elgin's fresh orchard fruit and vanilla character, while refill sherry adds gentle dried-fruit, nutty and baking-spice notes without turning this into a heavily sherried Speyside malt.
