Kildalton 22 Year Old 2003 Milroy’s Vintage Reserve 53.7% 70cl

An exquisitely aged, ex-bourbon Islay treasure here, sourced from an unnamed distillery on the famed island. It is profoundly complex with deep tropical sweetness in with pronounced peat smoke notes, along with a smattering of dark florals for good measure. Have a look on a map for the Kildalton Cross and it might give you a clue as to this extraordinary 22-year-old single malt’s provenance…

Tasting notes:

Nose: Rich, round and cold with cake mix, milk chocolate, something deliciously funky. Stewed tropical fruits and nutty, creamy marzipan emerge with the pronounced peat smoke. Liquorice, nori and a touch of floral potpourri add to the complexity.

Palate: A dense, earthy peat smoke comes to the fore along with a surprising basket of confectionery. The tropical fruits transform into boiled sweets before a wave of iodine arrives. Darker florals appear alongside dark chocolate, oudh-like, and more liquorice.

Finish: Incredibly long with lingering, earthy industrial smoke, oak spices and citrus peels.
