1983 Adelphi Teaninich 34 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

One of the oldest Teaninichs bottled to date.

It's only the fourth time in ten years that this little-known Highlander has appeared on our shelves. As the focus is producing malts for blending (it's used in Johnnie Walker & Vat 69), to our knowledge, there are no official editions besides Diageo's (a 24 year old). This is also one of the oldest Teaninichs bottled to date. Drawn from cask 6728 in 2018 yielding just 190 bottles. 44% Alc./Vol. Super limited.

Situated just a mile from the Cromarty Firth, for a good portion of the 20th century Teaninich was the only distillery north of Inverness with electricity and telephones. Since taking ownership, Diageo have continued to modernise, and in 2013 announced a major upgrade, as well as the construction of a new 'super distillery' adjacent to the original, securing Teaninich's future as a quiet work horse. This release was distilled prior to a 2000 expansion, hence Diageo describe it as an "older style of Teaninich" - whether or not that impacts the flavour, regardless, the house style is difficult to generalise.
