Adelphi's Breath of The Highlands is a whisky from Blair Athol, distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2017. Aged in sherry butts and bourbon barrels, the whisky is incredibly complex and fruit-forward. It opens with notes of warm spices, toffee, and toasted oak. On the palate, the whisky is creamy and smooth, with notes of citrus, butterscotch, and a hint of smoke. The finish is long and warm, with a lingering hint of sweet fruits.

This whisky is perfectly balanced and a great example of Blair Athol's whisky making style. It has intense aromas and flavors, yet remains complex and approachable. The brightness of the sherry and bourbon barrels provides a nice complexity to the whisky, making it an interesting and enjoyable dram. The whisky is a wonderful reflection of Blair Athol's distinctive terroir, packed with complexity and flavour.
