BOTTLING SCOTCH WHISKY FOR 60 YEARS
BOTTLING SCOTCH WHISKY FOR 60 YEARS
Skip to content
Jack and Wallace Milroy began releasing hand-picked single casks and selling them from their premises at 3 Greek Street shortly after establishing themselves as London’s Original Whisky Specialists. The first releases were distillery exclusives bottled specially for the shop, but soon the single cask releases were well established under the Milroy’s name, and some of these bottles can be seen in the rare whisky auctions today.
Among the very first independent London bottlers, many Springbank, Ben Nevis, Highland Park and Macallan casks (among numerous others) have been released under the Milroy’s brand since the 1960s.
Vintage Reserve
In 2021 we re-launched the Vintage Reserve series, heralding exceptional and mature single cask malts from Scotland’s most renowned distilleries and continuing the brothers’ highly collectable independent bottlings from last century. Bottled under the same iconic Milroy’s logo which Jack and Wallace released their original single casks, the golden lettering was first conceived by family friend and famous artist Theodore Ramos when he sketched it on a stack of wrapping paper that lay on the shop counter.
Our inaugural release included a 28-Year-Old Springbank, a 25-Year-Old Ben Nevis and a 23-Year-Old Clynelish. Received eagerly by whisky drinkers and to high acclaim by malt critics and writers, we will continue to release timeless classics as and when we are sure that a single cask is deserving of being bottled under our historic name.
