Breath of Islay 12 Year Old 2010 (Adelphi)

Tasting Notes

This phenomenal single malt Scotch whisky, hailing from an undisclosed Islay distillery, is a true embodiment of the rugged and peaty character that the island is renowned for. Distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2022 by the esteemed independent bottler Adelphi, this 12-year-old expression forms part of their celebrated Breath of Islay series. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 51.9%, this whisky has undergone no chill filtration or artificial colouring, preserving its natural essence and complexity. With a limited outturn of just 120 bottles, this rare gem offers an exclusive opportunity to explore the depths of Islay's distinctive terroir, where the salty sea air and peat-infused land converge to create a truly exceptional spirit. Prepare to be enveloped in a symphony of smoky, briny, and medicinal notes, punctuated by hints of iodine, seaweed, and a lingering, warming peat smoke.
