Description
Murray McDavid was established by London wine merchants Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Springbank Distillery’s Gordon Wright. They quickly gained a reputation for maturing whisky in interesting casks, especially in fine wine casks. In 2000, the Murray McDavid team set about reopening the closed Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, engaging the services of Jim McEwan, an icon on Islay. In 2012, Remy Cointreau purchased Bruichladdich Distillery and Murray McDavid. Later, Murray McDavid was sold to its current owners. Today, the home of Murray McDavid is Coleburn Distillery in Speyside.
Taste
Distilled 2012 | Cask 1684
From the Brand: The spirit from Ben Nevis Distillery is highly prized by whisky bottlers. We celebrate this rare highlander by further maturing it in a cask from the iconic Chateau Lafite, Bordeaux.
Brand Tasting Notes: The nose has floral malt, sweet fruits, and spice. The palate is warm pastry, praline, mellow oak, and the finish has baking spice, sweet malt, and blossom.
Holly’s Tasting Notes: Walnuts, roasted plums, mocha, sulfur spice, oily and butter. The palate has some slightly burnt toast with sweet cherry jam on top.
