Whitlaw 10 Year Old Cane and Grain Milroy's Exclusive Hogshead 54.2% 70cl
A new Milroy’s exclusive has arrived! This time, we’ve teamed up with independent bottler Cane & Grain to bring you a 10-year-old Whitlaw release – that’s the indie name for Highland Park, just in case you were wondering. The Orkney distillery is known for its floral peat, and that really shines through here. The aromatics take an unusual savoury tone that we love, lifted by fresh citrus, honey and orchard fruits. Give this a try if you love gently peated whiskies – it’s easygoing, fun and great for sharing with friends.
Tasting notes:
Nose: A relatively gentle nose offers soft bakery notes, aromatic citrus peels, green apples, vanilla pods, cereals, summer berries, and a tiny hint of floral smoke.
Palate: The peat influence is much more apparent on the palate, where it shows up as an aromatic, almost botanical smoke. Honey comes through, along with croissants, salted popcorn, shortbread and cinnamon.
Finish: Medium length with black pepper, citrus peels, and drying oak.
