GLEN GARIOCH 1993 Adelphi 21 Year Old
Glen Garioch is a Scottish whisky distillery located in the town of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, in the Eastern Highlands region of Scotland. It is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, with a history dating back to 1797, and it is known for producing a range of single malt whiskies. Glen Garioch whiskies are celebrated for their traditional Highland style and distinctive flavors. The whiskies often showcase a combination of fruity and malty characteristics, with notes of ripe orchard fruits, honey, toffee, and spices. They can also exhibit a subtle smokiness, owing to the traditional use of peat during the malting process.

Adelphi has a rich history, operating as a distillery in the Gorbals district of Glasgow from 1825, producing spirit from the waters of Loch Katrine. The distillery ceased production in the early 20th century however and several changes in ownership culminating in a takeover by Distillers Company Ltd in 1902. The Adelphi name was revived in 1993 by Jamie Walker, great-grandson of former distillery owner Archibald. With a lineage of whisky expertise he operated Adelphi as private bottling company, which now in the hands of Keith Falconer and David Houston, continues the fine work he began of bottling top quality expressions from Scotland’s finest distilleries. The company is now also distilling their own whisky at Ardnamurchan distillery in Glenbeg.

This was released by Adelphi, distilled in 1993 and matured in first-fill Spanish oak ex-sherry butt #776 for 21 years and bottled in 2014 for a limited 562 bottles.
