Description

1825 saw the official opening of the Adelphi distillery in the Gorbals, Glasgow, but after changing hands a smattering of times throughout the mid to late 1800's, it finally ended up in the hands of DLC in 1902. Sadly, production at the distillery ceased shortly afterwards. Fast forward to 1993, and we see Jamie Walker, the great-grandson of one of the distillery's founders reviving the Adelphi name. This is a single cask Chichibu 2013 7-year-old Japanese single malt whisky bottled in 2023 without colouring or chill filtration by indie bottlers Adelphi for their Adelphi Selection range. This 7-year-old Chichibu 2013 came from single cask 3090, yielding 210 bottles at a seriously poky natural cask strength of 57.8%.

Nose
Distinctly earthy, evoking the essence of wet leaves and a root cellar, with undertones of sumptuous vanilla.
Palate
A full-bodied richness, punctuated by a medley of peppers and underscored by red berries, especially strawberries. Big pineapple, green apple, pickled ginger, and then sweet peppered and grilled pineapple. Luscious and full.
Finish
Expanding from medium to long, it persists with the established flavors, deepens into a berry mix, brings forward orchard fruits, and concludes with an increasingly opulent vanilla note. Slightly acerbic, yet undeniably fresh, fruity, and bold.
