A bright, energetic Glen Garioch from Adelphi: 14 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel for vanilla, citrus, and a spicy Highland body.
This Adelphi Selection is a single cask bottling from Glen Garioch Distillery, a Highland distillery known for its characterful, often slightly spicy and malty base. The whisky matured for 14 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, which provides direct bourbon influence: creamy vanilla, honey, light coconut, and fresh citrus.
Due to the cask type, the profile remains clean and "distillery-forward": no heavy sherry, but rather brightness, tension, and drinkability — with enough woody spices for length. This is one of those bottles that appeals to both lovers of classic bourbon-cask maturation and drinkers who enjoy fresh fruit + spicy structure.
