NEW ARRIVALS – MILROY’S OF SOHO SINGLE CASK BOTTLINGS
As alluded to in the prelude, we are delighted to welcome three new Milroy’s of Soho single cask bottlings; a Single Malt, a Single Grain and our first Rum, sourced from the Four Square distillery in Barbados. These new releases are due to land early-mid March.
MILROY’S OF SOHO SINGLE CASK ABERLOUR 1991 18 YEAR OLD (314 bottles, 46% ABV)
Aberlour distillery has a legion of fans for its range of full bodied malts that see varying levels of maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks. Drawn from a single ex-Bourbon cask, this Milroy’s of Soho bottling is an elegant expression of Aberlour. Medium to full bodied and voluptuous in texture, it literally envelops the mouth with pleasure inducing flavours of nougat, crème Anglaise, milk chocolate and subtle spice (clove, cinnamon).

MILROY’S OF SOHO SINGLE CASK SINGLE GRAIN GIRVAN 1988 21 YEAR OLD (309 bottles, 46% ABV)
This mature single grain whisky was sourced from Ayrshire’s Girvan distillery. The vast majority of spirit produced at this William Grant-owned distillery is used to fill out Grant’s blend or is sold to other blending houses. Only a tiny quantity sees more than 10 years maturation in wood. This 21 year old single grain whisky is therefore something of a rarity. Bright golden amber in colour, it possesses an alluring nose of grilled hazelnuts and vanilla. The palate is at one seamless and elegant, showing a nutty sweetness intermingled with toffee and crème caramel. Although brilliant enjoyed as a digestif, it is irresistible with anything chocolate related, or perhaps, sticky toffee pudding!

MILROY’S OF SOHO SINGLE CASK 1998 BARBADOS RUM, FOUR SQUARE DISTILLERY (336 bottles, 43% ABV)
We have sourced our first ever single cask rum from the Four Square distillery in Barbados. This fine Caribbean rum was, distilled in 1998, was matured in a single ex-Bourbon cask. Bright golden amber in colour, it is a wonderfully elegant and fruity rum, gently sweet with well integrated oak. Although a premium rum like this is intended to be taken neat, it would make a truly luxurious base to a rum cocktail!
