Adelphi's 30th Anniversary Tasting with Alex Bruce

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Alex Bruce back to the bar. At the end of last year, Adelphi celebrated a huge milestone - their 30th Anniversary! In this tasting, we will be the first people in Australia to taste 6 amazing bottlings from their 30th Anniversary release.

Adelphi needs no introduction really, but here is a brief history. Adelphi was originally a distillery that was established back in 1826. The name was revived in 1993, by Jamie Walker when he established his independent bottling company. Since then, the company has bottled numerous casks, many of them being spectacular. Alex Bruce is the managing director and comes from a long whisky lineage, and together with whisky writer, Charles Maclean, they are constantly looking for great casks to be bottled. They are pretty strict when choosing these casks too, reportedly rejecting more than 90% of the casks they receive. 

In 2014, Adelphi's built the Ardnamurchan Distillery in the Western Highlands, about 90 minutes by car from Fort William on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. 

The 6 whiskies that we will be tasting have just been bottled in Scotland, and were flown over here just so we can taste them with Alex. There are a couple of stellar whiskies from Japan and Sweden, as well as some really old Scotch whiskies such as a 36yo North British, a 33yo Mortlach, a 27yo Imperial (closed distillery) and also the oldest Ardnamurchan bottled! So join us in this very special tasting, and let's celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Adelphi's!!!
