Independent whisky specialist Milroy’s of Soho has announced four new expressions as part of its Vintage Reserve and Soho Selection collections. The company celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, having opened in November 1964.
“We’re incredibly excited to share these new bottlings at the start of what’s set to be a special year for us here at Milroy’s,” Milroy’s CEO Jolyon Dunn shares.
“Our team is always on the hunt for remarkable casks to bottle and share, and all four January 2024 releases are just that. With Vintage Reserve, it’s all about celebrating classic distillery character and what makes each place so special. For Soho Selection, we’re looking for the more unusual, more modern expressions that show good whisky can come at any age.
“This is just the beginning of our 60th anniversary celebrations, with more news set to follow soon.”
