Ardnamurchan & Adelphi Masterclass with Graeme Mackay 30th January 19:30-21:30

The Adelphi Distillery is one of the lost distilleries of Scotland. It operated from 1826 to around 1907, and in 1880, the distillery was bought by Messrs A. Walker and Co. Walker’s great-grandson, Jamie Walker, restored the Adelphi brand in 1993, this time not as a distillery but as an independent bottler.

Most recently, in 2014, Adelphi started distilling their own whisky at the Ardnamurchan Distillery situated in the beautiful, rugged West highland peninsula, Ardnamurchan.

Ardnamurchan Distillery began distilling in 2014. Unusually in the whisky industry, all the power and heat requirements for the distillery come from local renewables – the river that provides the distillery’s cooling water has a hydro-electricity generator, and the biomass boiler is fuelled by woodchip from local forestry – the overall footprint of the distillery is a light one.

Graeme Mackay is a name many who run in whisky circles have heard, an expert on all things Adelphi & Ardnamurchan. For this tasting, he has personally selected a sensational line-up of whiskies from the distillery and archive bottlings from Adelphi.
