10-Year-old Miltonduff (Red wine barrel)
"Minding my own business of a morning I was unexpectedly interrupted by a cold caller looking somewhat like an Amish hobo. My first thought was to send him next door (my neighbour has little tolerance for cold callers), until without even saying, “hello”, he waved several unmarked bottles of whisky in my face. In hindsight one is glad to have let him in.
Several drams later and I’d managed to disavow James of any notions that we should bottle “yet another sherried banger” and instead choose this far more refined and, in my opinion, more interesting red wine cask finished Miltonduff. Not nearly as sweet, rich and dark as his preferred malts this is light and playful, with a wonderful finish. Just the right amount of fruit balanced with just the right amount of whisky. A very more-ish spirit we hope you’ll agree.
All jokes aside, I value James’ expertise in these matters and this has been a fine whisky to choose. As to the charity element, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Josephson MBE several times in his role as Chief Barker for Variety The Children’s Charity and can testify to the good work they do. As George Benson once sung, “I believe the children are the future”, and it feels good to support a charity that supports them. Get your orders in, because I’m going to let Michael know and there’s a good chance he’ll buy the lot! Slainte!!"
