The wonderful John Milroy’s line of Single Malt Single Cask Scotch is finally back and we’re proud to be the exclusive purveyor of this special brand in California. The legacy of the Milroy’s name goes back to 1964, when John “Jack” Milroy opened a little wine shop at #3 Greek St in an upscale neighborhood on the west end of London. Over the next 30 years, the Milroys and their talented store manager, Doug McIver would make the Milroy name synonymous with exceptional single cask scotch. Eventually, Mr. McIver moved on to become the head of the venerable Berry Bros & Rudd Spirits Department and Jack Milroy struck out on his own creating the equally well regarded “John Milroy Selection” brand of single cask single malts. In 2009, Jack tapped Doug as his pick to take the special line of scotch into the new century – partnering with Berry’s would ensure that only the very best whisky would be bottled under the Milroy name. Doug takes this spiritual legacy seriously and he’s finally put together a portfolio of exceptional single casks and we’re proud to be his partners in California. Benrinnes is a wonderfully distillery. Originally built in 1826 and rebuilt multiple times due to floods and fires, the distillery still uses worm tubs and like Mortlach it used a 5th “Low wine” still to redistill the feints and the spirits still was fed by foreshots and the hearts of the low wine and wash still until 2007.

The John Milroy Selection Benrinnes 16 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Deep nutty and fruity aromas dominate initially. There is a jammy intensity that emerges to give quince and some bruised apples.

Palate: The palate is unctuous with bags of apples, yellow fruit and citrus.

Finish: The finish is long lingering with a sweet and spicy balance.
