An elegant, "distillery-forward" Pulteney from Adelphi: 17 years in refill bourbon for pure fruit, soft vanilla, and a subtle maritime touch.
This Adelphi Selection is a single cask bottling from Pulteney Distillery, matured for 17 years in a refill bourbon hogshead. Refill bourbon means: less dominant wood influence and more room for the distillate—ideal if you appreciate whiskies that remain clear, refined, and layered.
In the glass, this results in a style with light vanilla and honey, citrus/orchard fruit, and a soft, oily texture. Pulteney is known for a fresh, often slightly maritime elegance, and this type of cask maturation aligns perfectly: subtle, clean, and with a beautiful length without sweet "overkill." With only 330 bottles, this is a release for lovers of classic maturation with finesse.
