Dalry Milk 16 Year Old – where chocolate meets whisky

Chocolate = good. Whisky = good.

Dalry Milk 16 Year Old? Ridiculously good.

New whisky altert!

Introducing our latest whisky, a 16-year-old single grain Scotch from the North British distillery.

Dalry Milk is like if someone distilled the memory of childhood chocolate bars and aged it in a cask. Two casks, actually: a 2:1 ratio of oloroso to palo cortado.

It’s smooth, sweet, and rewarding. Think sweet spices, creamy toffee, and a whiff of that long-lost corner shop. Oh, and chocolate, of course. Lots of lots of chocolate. 

The label kinda looks familiar too, right?

A love letter to Gorgie & Dalry

What inspired such a creation? Let us tell you a short tale. 

“Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination…*”

For years, no one walked through the Gorgie & Dalry area west of Edinburgh — they drifted on clouds of malt and yeast from the North British distillery (or the old Caledonian Brewery).

From the outside, it’s all industrial gloom, but inside, real whisky magic bubbled away. Think of it like the chocolate factory in that book with that Wonka fella.

Then came 2009. With every other problem presumably solved, the council demanded an odour control tower to tone down the delicious smells. The move is still considered one of Edinburgh’s great cultural losses. 

Our head of whisky, Sam Simmons, weeps single grain tears every time he recalls the distillery’s old aroma. He’s fine. Just very passionate.

He turned that love and loss into something beautiful, a whisky that calls to mind those nostalgic aromas. One that is very, very chocolatey indeed. Hence, Dalry Milk.
