Bottle Details

Teaninich 2010 Adelphi 11 Year Old / RAF Benevolent Fund

Adelphi has a rich history, operating as a distillery in the Gorbals district of Glasgow from 1825, producing spirit from the waters of Loch Katrine. The distillery ceased production in the early 20th century however and several changes in ownership culminating in a takeover by Distillers Company Ltd in 1902. The Adelphi name was revived in 1993 by Jamie Walker, great-grandson of former distillery owner Archibald. With a lineage of whisky expertise he operated Adelphi as private bottling company, which now in the hands of Keith Falconer and David Houston, continues the fine work he began of bottling top quality expressions from Scotland's finest distilleries. The company is now also distilling their own whisky at Ardnamurchan distillery in Glenbeg.

This whisky was distilled in 2010 and aged for 11 years. It was bottled in 2021.

Teaninich was built in the early 19th century and was eventually bought by blenders, Munro & Cameron, in 1895. Their trustees later sold the distillery to DCL in 1933, and it remains part of the Diageo operation to this day. The distillery's primary focus is on provision for the firms many blends, and the 10 year old Flora & Fauna has been the only permanent distillery bottling, with just a handful of rare official releases appearing alongside it over the years. As such, the majority of Teaninich single malt has appeared under independent labels such as this.

This bottling marks the role played by No.603 Squadron (City of Edinburgh) during the decisive air campaign of the Battle of Britain.

The Battle of Britain took place in mid 1940 and saw the Royal Air Force successfully defend the United Kingdom from large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe. Heavily outnumbered, Winston Churchill would be quoted in saying \"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few\" . The campaign lasted nearly four months and would go down in history as a major turning point towards Allied victory in the Second World War.
