Adelphi One of One 29 Year Old Distilled at Imperial Distillery 1996 (1 Bottle 70cl)

Adelphi One of One 29 Year Old Distilled at Imperial Distillery 1996

• Adelphi Distillery Ltd proudly presents an extraordinary and singular creation: The Adelphi Archive Single Malt Scotch whisky – 29 Years Old – from the now demolished Imperial Distillery.

• This is Bottle No. 1 of 1, a unique and unrepeatable expression distilled on the 24th April 1996, carefully matured in a re-fill bourbon barrel for nearly three decades, and bottled at 53.8% abv into a Glencairn crystal decanter, exclusively for this charitable cause. 

• Wood craftsman Mike Buckley has created a bespoke handmade walnut pedestal, taking 35 hours to complete. In a tribute to the distillery’s history, the stand incorporates an authentic bolt from the original barley dresser at Imperial, physically connecting this lot to its storied past. 

• Nevis Design crafted a beautiful label design exclusively for this release, printed by Labeltec in support of The Distillers’ Charity.

Tasting Notes:

Inviting and complex, with bright grapefruit, sweet pastries, and a touch of preserved lemon on the nose. The palate is silky smooth, warming gently with a long, lingering finish—a true reflection of the elegance and depth for which Imperial Distillery was renowned before its closure.
