Caroni 1997 25 Year Old Adelphi Selection
They exist to identify the very small number of casks that have produced the ultimate whiskies. The criteria for selection include rarity and maturity, but above all flavour.
Adelphi rums are both rare and sought-after - these very special casks are so rare that, on average, Adelphi accepts a mere 4% that it is offered.
Each single cask of rum matures its contents very differently, imparting its own character to the whisky it holds and, as a result, there are never two Adelphis quite the same.
This bottling is a 1997 vintage from the Caroni Distillery.
