Milroy’s of Soho Web Store Now Live! – Scotch Whisky News
TO THE INTERNET AND BEYOND!
OUR WEB STORE IS NOW LIVE AND ACTIVE!
We’ve undergone somewhat of an evolution here at Milroy’s this year. When we re-opened in February we were a bricks-and-mortar-store only (admittedly with two magnificiently reviewed bars), before long we were taking mail orders by telephone, then, in a controversial move into the future, by email (who’d have thought!?). Now, begin the drum roll and cue a brass band fanfare, our online shop is now open for business! Finally, you can browse all of the fantastic whiskies and spirits we stock from the comfort of your sofa/office/BT-Openzone wifi spot…
We’ll be adding lots of new exciting products to the website over the next couple of months, not to mention a full list of our tasting events for the rest of the year later this week.
To top it all off we are offering next day delivery for all UK orders (if ordered before 16:00) so you can get your hands on that whisk(e)y a little bit quicker.
Below are a few whisky classics selected by our shop staff to get you started. As always keep an eye on your emails for all your release news and more!
STAFF PICKS
Arran Amarone Cask Finish, 46%
There isn’t much not love about the Arran Malt. This distillery opened in 1995 and has gone on to produce one of Scotland’s finest single malt whiskies. This expression spends the final months of its maturation in amarone wine casks. Amarone is a wine made from semi-dried grapes, the effect that these casks have on the whisky is to give it notes of chocolate coated raisins and freshly picked cherries. The whisky also takes on a rosé-like hue. This is a great drinking whisky for the summer when the heavier malts are less appealing! £39.95
We often say that it’s compulsory to enjoy Glendronach to work at Milroy’s, this is largely because it always works its way into staff top ten lists – as contractual obligations go it could be a whole lot worse! The 15 Year Old often steals the limelight but the 12 Year Old has a delightfully soft mouthfeel without compromising on that trademark, rich, Glendronach character. £34.75
High West Rendezvous Rye Whiskey, 46%
Before the recent surge in interest in Bourbon and rye whiskey High West was perhaps a lesser known brand. At the first American whiskey tasting we hosted, we cracked a bottle of this Utah blended rye whiskey open, fast forward a couple of years and it was one of our best selling products. This is rye-to-the-max with near perfect balance, no doubt thanks to the skills of High West’s master blender. High West is also a regular ingredient in the cocktails in The Vault beneath us for the mixologists amongst you! £51.50
