Teaninich 13 Year Old 2012 Milroy’s Soho Selection 51.5%

Deliciously sweet yet easygoing and elegant, this 13-year-old Teaninich bottling is filled to the brim with citrus peel, floral honey and strawberries-and-cream notes. Aged in an American oak hogshead, it lets the Highland single malt distillery’s character shine. A real treat neat, over ice, or in a Highball with ginger ale.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Initially soft with inviting icing sugar, citrus peels and strawberry laces, the nose becomes remarkably complex with the arrival of dusty library book, hay, floral honey and latte notes. There’s a maltiness too, along with boiled sweets, pear, latte, and a slightly burnt biscuit base.

Palate: Red cherry builds alongside milk chocolate, raspberry coulis and strawberries and cream. The sweetness continues with ice cream wafer, tiramisu, eaton mess and jam roly poly pudding, with cocoa nibs. Well-done toast adds a pleasant bass note.

Finish: Long with lingering dessert notes, plus more hay and spicy oak.
