MILROY’S OF SOHO JUNE NEWSLETTER 

As we enter summer, we have news of a few exciting new releases – Dalmore McKenzie, Kilkerran Work In Progress 2 and the first official peated expression from England’s own St George’s distillery.  For those that have placed orders for the Ardbeg Supernova 2010, please read on for news regarding delivery.

WHISKY OF THE MONTH – GLENFARCLAS 15 YEAR OLD – OFFER EXTENDED

With the excellent Glenfarclas 15 year old proving to be remarkably popular in May, we have extended the offer through June.  Glenfarclas 15 year old is one of the great Speyside malts, especially for those that like Sherry-matured whiskies.  Full bodied and laden with sweet toffee, Glenfarclas 15 year old is rich, voluptuous and silky smooth.  As with all Glenfarclas expressions, there is a touch of peat on the finish, adding complexity and length.  All in all it is an excellent example of its type, and more than a match for the older distillery expressions.

£39.95 per bottle plus free miniature

DALMORE MACKENZIE

Dalmore Mackenzie is a 3,000 bottle limited release bottled to celebrate the Clan Mackenzie and the iconic “Fury of the Stag” painting.  Finished in Port casks, and bottled at 46% ABV, this 17 year old Dalmore displays a fruity nose of plums, citrus fruits and damsons together with marzipan and ginger.  Full bodied and very smooth, this is a complex Dalmore, benefiting no doubt from being bottled at 46% ABV. It delivers Seville orange marmalade, dark chocolate and sweet red fruit, leading to a fine spice laden finish.

£95.00 per bottle

Exclusive Newsletter Offer Price – save 10% – £86.50 per bottle

ST. GEORGE’S DISTILLERY CHAPTER 9 PEATED

With the former manager of Laphroaig distillery at the helm, it is no surprise that England’s own St. George’s distillery has put a peated whisky into bottle.  St. George Chapter 9 is the first official peated whisky from this Norfolk distillery.

A distillery tasting note follows: Light smoke and only slightly medicinal. Spicy and very zingy.  Almost rum and raisin ice cream. Malty and floral. Nice balance with smoke. Very gentle.

KILKERRAN WORK IN PROGRESS 2

The first official release from the Springbank-owned Glengyle distillery flew out the door so quickly last year that we barely got the chance to take the bottle out of the tube, let alone try it.  Suffice to say, Kilkerran is a high quality whisky (as one would expect given the Springbank influence), sweet and creamy, without the peat and brine one associates with Springbank and Longrow.  It is, of course, very collectible and will sell quickly.

ARDBEG SUPERNOVA 2010 RELEASE

As reported in our email offer last week, Ardbeg distillery has bottled another release of the highly successful Supernova.  Ardbeg Supernova 2010 is bottled at a higher strength (60.1% ABV) than the previous release and is similarly highly peated.   It is a must for lovers of peaty Islay malts.   We have taken delivery of the whisky and it is available for collection.

£79.79 per bottle – 2 bottles per customer (limited stocks remaining)

Until next month, cheers!

Best regards,

Philip
