Milroy's of Soho has released the Soho Selection . For this particular series, Milroy's are looking for the more unusual, more modern expressions that show good whisky can come at any age.
An essential for fans of bold, smoky whiskies, this Finglassie – or peated Inchdairnie – has had its phenol count amped up even further with maturation in an ex-Islay barrel. At four years old it’s got all the heft of youth, coupled with the power of the elegant Inchdairnie spirit. There’s simply nothing else like this out there.
Nose: Bold and powerful, with smoky vinyl and a herbal peat lifted by scorched rosemary, rhubarb and a dusty liquorice. There’s a roadwork influence along with olive brine, too.
Palate: Dense smoke full of barbecued meats and bacon open the palate, with citrus, boiled sweets, and jammy berries providing some top notes. Mineralic, petrichor notes underscore the savour elements alongside freshly-laid tarmac and apple sauce.
Finish: Incredibly long with that more of that roadwork smoke
Age: 4 years old
