Adelphi Linkwood 25

Adelphi Linkwood 25 Year Old Whisky

Independent bottlers Adelphi have released this 25 year old single bourbon cask whisky originally distilled in 1993 and was bottled in 2019 after spending a quarter of a century in a single cask.

An all natural Linkwood with significant age.... This is another of Diageo's quiet distilleries that produces malt whiskies for blending, predominantly for the Bell's & Haig labels. Prized for its combination of texture and delicacy, apart from the odd Diageo release, it's bottled as a single malt by independents only. We've tasted many indie expressions which are typically layered with chocolate and orchard fruits (think pear / apple). Adelphi's is a relatively small release of 230 bottles, most likely from x Bourbon casks. Bottled at cask strength of 50.4% ABV

Nose: Aromas of rich chocolate, orchard fruits like pear and apple, with hints of vanilla and oak.

Palate: Smooth and creamy, with flavors of buttery toffee, milk chocolate, and ripe orchard fruits. There’s a gentle spiciness with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering chocolatey sweetness and a touch of oak spice.
