Highland 2004 19 Year Old Milroy’s Soho Selection Cask #12 | Milroy’s

A Rare Independent Highland Release

Distilled at an undisclosed Highland distillery in January 2004 and bottled by London whisky specialists Milroy’s for their Soho Selection series, this 19 year old single malt was matured in a refill American oak bourbon barrel before bottling in June 2023. Released at a robust natural cask strength of 55.5% ABV, this small batch independent bottling presents a spirit-driven Highland profile with subtle peat influence, orchard fruits, spice, and coastal freshness.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Soft peat smoke, pear drops, vanilla cream, lemon zest, white pepper, and light oak spice.
• Palate: Oily and vibrant, revealing orchard fruits, honeyed malt, gentle smoke, citrus oils, cracked pepper, and sweet bourbon oak.
• Finish: Medium to long, with lingering spice, drying oak, soft peat embers, and delicate fruit sweetness.

About the Bottling

Milroy’s has long been associated with London’s independent whisky scene, with roots tracing back to one of the city’s most respected specialist whisky merchants. The Soho Selection series focuses on characterful single cask releases chosen for individuality rather than distillery prestige alone.

This release embraces that philosophy with an undisclosed Highland malt offering a refined balance between gentle peat, fruit-driven spirit character, and bourbon cask maturation. Bottled without chill filtration or artificial colouring, it presents the whisky in a more natural and spirit-forward style appreciated by enthusiasts of modern independent bottlings.
