Adelphi Nightcap Single Malt Whisky Gift Box (4x10cl)

The famous Adelphi Nightcap Selection makes a welcome return! Arriving just in time for cosy winter evenings, these whiskies are perfect companions to the fireside.

Here we have an exploration of four malt whiskies matured in different types of Sherry casks, each one of them with a heavy maturation influence. Regions diverse as the Highlands, Islay and Speyside are represented. We have dinky little Octaves all the way up to huge, lesser-spotted Gordas, all affording different subtleties and nuances of maturation. We hope you enjoy them!
