Isla's Bar - Caol Ila 15 YO Palo Cortado Octave Milroy's Soho 2.5cl 54.1%

THE SPIRIT WAREHOUSE LTD

£13

A rare and refined expression from Islay's most elegant distillery. Caol Ila's signature coastal character meets the rich, complex influence of Palo Cortado oak in this 15-year-old single malt. Matured in an octave cask and bottled exclusively for Milroy's of Soho, this 54.1% ABV dram delivers depth and sophistication in a generous 2.5cl measure. Tasting notes: Expect honeyed smoke, dried orchard fruits, and subtle maritime salinity. The Palo Cortado finish brings warm spice, toasted oak, and a lingering sweetness that rewards patient exploration.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE SPIRIT WAREHOUSE LTD, number 13246530. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
