 57.1% ABV

We teamed up with fellow London drinks merchants Berry Bros. & Rudd for our latest exclusive bottling: a 10 year old Oloroso-finished single malt from Islay. While we can’t say exactly which distillery it comes from, those in the know will recognise the ‘trade name’ of this iconic producer. The ashy, smoky spirit pairs indulgently with the rich dried fruits from the cask, for a mouth-watering, sumptuous dram. We’re proud of the spirits we bottle exclusively, and this one is a bold, invigorating stand-out. 

Williamson 10 Year Old 2013 Oloroso Finish Berry Bros Milroy’s Exclusive Tasting Note:

Nose: The peat smoke is immediately apparent, along with figs, dates, prunes, and a hint of meatiness from the Oloroso wood.

Palate: Commanding and pronounced, dark chocolate and beeswax jump out from the fruity tobacco smoke.

Finish: Baking spices linger on.

Edinburgh Whisky Academy ‘Whisky Words’ – Scotch Whisky News

Vic Cameron, one of our whisky lecturers says: “A quaich is a small two handled drinking vessel that you can drink whisky out of. It used to be used for friendship ceremonies and it can be used at weddings for joining the two families. So, it’s just a lovely little way of drinking whisky with friends and family.”

Writer’s Tears Cask Strength Japanese Mizunara Cask Finished ~ Copper Pot Distilled Irish Whiskey News

Writer’s Tears Cask Strength Japanese Mizunara Cask Finished Copper Pot Distilled Irish Whiskey

Writer’s Tears combines classic Irish single pot and single malt whiskies in a 55% ABV blend finished in Japanese Mizunara oak. The unique Japanese oak has an entrancing profile of sandalwood, coconut, and incense. It meshes perfectly with the fruity and malt forward triple distilled Irish whiskey. After we were able to shave $50 off the regular price tag, it also now delivers one of the best values in the Irish category.

The Macallan – 200 years young – Scotch Whisky News

Two centuries have passed since Alexander Reid, founder of The Macallan, distilled the first batch of whisky in his curiously small stills in Speyside, Scotland, beginning the extraordinary legacy of the single malt Scotch whisky.

2024 marks the 200th anniversary year for The Macallan, commencing with the reveal of a ‘200 Years Young’ logo and an evolved identity that recognises the brand’s illustrious past and a celebration of the future.

Designed by the acclaimed visual artist Alex Trochut, the anniversary logo features a wave pattern that evokes the connection between the brand’s foundations and its future, merging the curve of the River Spey that weaves its way through The Macallan Estate to the rolling curves of the striking Distillery.

The introduction of the evolved brand identity features an elevated and simplified logo, red colour statement, pattern and iconography that are inspired by the Six Pillars, the foundation stones for The Macallan’s character, and its rich history.

The Macallan worked closely with David Carson, one of the most influential designers of the modern era, blending the principles of art and branding. The result is a combination of craftsmanship and creativity that embodies The Macallan’s legacy: past, present and future.

ORKNEY 8 YEAR OLD 2014 CHAPTER 7 MONOLOGUE 35 – Milroys Scotch Whisky News

Orkney 8 Year Old 2014 Chapter 7 Monologue 35 – 52.8% ABV

A gem of a bottling from the distillery on Orkney that labels its independent liquid ‘Whitlaw’. Chapter 7 sourced this single red wine barrel and released it to share with the world. It’s part of the Monologue series of non-chill filtered, natural colour whiskies – and just 314 have been produced.

Tasting note:

Nose: Malty with jammy red berries, sweet spices, and the signature waft of floral peat smoke.

Palate: More red berries with an earthy vanilla, almond, cherries and a subtly building smoke.

Finish: Drying oak with a glimmer of hedgerow fruits.

George Remus “Repeal Reserve” Series VII Indiana Straight Bourbon ~ American Whiskey News

George Remus “Repeal Reserve” Series VII Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

($99.99)

K&L Notes: The Remus Repeal is MGP’s flagship older bourbon blend and represents their finest stocks hand-selected by the masters on their blending team. This year’s batch is a mix of five bourbons from the two main mashbills at MGP. These two mashbills are the same you’d see at other former Seagram’s distilleries like Four Roses. The precise breakdown includes some good old 15-year-old and excellent 9- and 10-year-old whiskeys—6% bourbon distilled in 2007 (21% rye), 26% bourbon distilled in 2013 (21% rye), 21% bourbon distilled in 2014 (21% rye), 26% bourbon distilled in 2013 (36% rye); 21% bourbon distilled in 2014 (36% rye)—for an average age right around ten years old. Bottled at 100 proof as always, this is the quintessential MGP bourbon and puts many much more expensive and younger versions of the same whiskeys bottled by other producers to shame. The gorgeous art deco bottle captures the old-school nature of this distillery, but it’s what’s inside the bottle that really counts here.
