2025 Adelphi preview tasting with Alex Bruce and Connal MacKenzie

We're incredibly lucky to have the dynamic duo of Alex Bruce and Connal Mackenzie join us upstairs for a night of wonderful drams and banter, tasting through the latest, yet-to-be-released collection from Adelphi. 

The Adelphi independent bottling brand is steeped in history and family ties to some of the biggest names in the Scotch whisky industry, with Alex Bruce having worked with Adelphi for over 20 years now. Such deep understanding of the whisky industry at a younger age has helped Alex and Adelphi keep relevant, and at the forefront of the Independent bottling world. 

One of Whisky & Alement's observations of Adelphi whiskies over the years, has been their cask selection process. Never has there been even the slightest hint of an off note and bottlings are always perfectly integrated with the chosen spirit make. This newest release from Adelphi will be the next chapter of amazing whisky, shared affordably and with no monkey business.
