Adelphi’s history dates back to 1826 and the old Adelphi Distillery in Glasgow. Descendants of the distillery’s owners revived the name as an independent bottler, and we’ll hear more about their unique whiskies and even more unique tasting notes in this week’s episode. In the news, a vintage bottle of The Glenlivet sold for nearly $30,000 at the latest Bonhams auction in Edinburgh and Suntory’s Mike Miyamoto gives us the details on the Hakushu single malt’s arrival in North America.
