  Auchroisk Murray McDavid Craft Cask Batch 2 Bourbon Finish Single Speyside Malt Whisky 44,5%

  Item no.: 222275555-557774

  Koval is a distillery in Chicago making whiskey from millet, oats and other grains most Scots would never touch. Their used casks have ended up in Speyside, and the result is not what you expect.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchroisk Murray McDavid Cask Craft Batch 2 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky finished in a Koval quarter cask and bottled at 44.5%. It is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

  A quarter cask holds around 125 litres, half a hogshead, and therefore has markedly more wood contact per litre. The finishing works quickly, and that is the whole idea behind the range: to give a young whisky a clear imprint in a short time.

  Koval in Chicago distils from unconventional grains such as millet and oats, and their casks carry the mark of it. Auchroisk was built in 1974 for the J&B blend, and the distillery’s bright style takes well to that kind of cask.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweetness and spice first. Vanilla and honey sit beneath a clear oak note, and there is a lightly nutty, cereal character from the American cask.

  Palate

  Soft and spiced. Vanilla and honey open, then cinnamon, a dry oak note and a light peppery edge arrive. At 44.5% there is good body, and the small cask shows clearly in the oak.

  Finish

  Medium and spiced. Oak, vanilla and a dry close with a little pepper.

  Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 year old casks #2005618 Single Islay Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278388

  Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest sherry that exists – thick, dark and almost syrupy. When Caol Ila's peat smoke encounters seven months in PX hogsheads, the result is surprisingly subtle: the sweetness works its way into the smoke and gives it a fruity, dried dimension.

  Expert's description

  Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon hogshead casks with a finish in Ximenez-Spinola PX sherry hogshead casks (nos. 2005618/19/23), bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

  Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series is an experimental line that systematically explores cask combinations in larger batches. The PX finish here lasts seven months – short enough to preserve Caol Ila's character, long enough for the Spanish dessert wine to leave its mark.

  1,242 bottles were produced. Ximenez-Spinola is one of the most acclaimed PX houses in Jerez, and it is from them that Murray McDavid sourced these casks.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dried fruit – raisins and dark plums – blends with Caol Ila's maritime smoke. A note of mocha and orange peel gives depth.

  Palate

  Delicate and fruity. Smoke and PX sweetness find each other in good balance. Mocha, dark dried fruit and a soft, lightly oily texture.

  Finish

  Gentle and lingering. Smoke and sweetness fade side by side with a fresh note of smoke and fruit at the end.

  Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 year old Single Islay Malt Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278387

  The world of Cognac and Islay whisky rarely meet – they pull in very different directions. But Murray McDavid found a cask that made them listen to each other: a bourbon hogshead with a finish in first-fill Cognac casks, and Caol Ila's smoke blending with the French spirit's sweetness.

  Expert's description

  Caol Ila 2014/2021 Murray McDavid 6 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon hogshead casks with a finish in first-fill Cognac casks (nos. 1925785/193/194), bottled at 50% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

  Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series systematically experiments with unusual cask combinations in larger batches. This batch produced 1,694 bottles. The 14-month finish in Cognac casks contributes a sweet, lightly winey complexity lifting it above a simple bourbon profile.

  Caol Ila at six years is fresh and direct – the smoke is clear, the distillate body is present, and the Cognac finish adds a sweeter frame without erasing the distillate's maritime character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Sweet and smoky at once. Sweet peat, ginger and apple – the Cognac cask adds a lightly fruity glow behind Caol Ila's typical maritime smoke.

  Palate

  Soft and fruity with good body. Caramel and smoke meet notes of ginger and apple. The Cognac sweetness is discreet but notable.

  Finish

  Clean and fresh with salted caramel and a light medicinal Caol Ila note at the end.

  Caol Ila 2014/2022 Murray McDavid 8 years old Isle of Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 50%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0092

  Pauillac is Bordeaux at its finest – Lafite, Mouton, Latour. When casks from one of the world's most celebrated wine regions meet Caol Ila's Islay smoke, something unexpected happens: the powerful wine residue in the wood gives a peaty and fruity note rarely found at the distillery.

  Expert's description

  Caol Ila 2014/2022 Murray McDavid 8 Years Benchmark Series is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in Pauillac wine casks, bottled at 50% without chill filtration and with natural colour. 1,399 bottles.

  Pauillac casks come from the Pauillac wine district in Bordeaux – home to Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour. The casks are laden with red Bordeaux wine and add tannin-rich, fruity and slightly earthy notes to spirits that have rested in them.

  Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series puts the distillate's character at the centre and finds casks that lift it without overpowering it. Eight years and 50% in Pauillac casks give a Caol Ila with an unexpected winey depth.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Smoke and dark fruit – blueberry and cherry from the wine cask, with Caol Ila's salty maritime smoke in the background. A hint of earth and tannins.

  Palate

  Smoke and wine sweetness in good balance. Dark berry fruit, salt and a touch of Bordeaux tannins. Good body at 50%.

  Finish

  Peat and fruit alternate in a medium-length finish with a light, dried fruit note at the end.

  Caol Ila 5 year old Murray McDavid Justino Maderia Cask finish Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky alc 51,5%

  Item no.: 22227865364-35465799999

  Five years is a short time. But Murray McDavid knew what they had – a young, vibrant Caol Ila distillate that needed a pivot point. Justino Madeira casks from the Atlantic island provided it: a sweet, slightly oxidised wine sweetness meeting the young smoke halfway.

  Expert's description

  Caol Ila 5 Years Murray McDavid Benchmark Series Justino Madeira Cask Finish is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 2018, bottled in 2023 at 51.5% with a Justino Madeira cask finish, without chill filtration and with natural colour.

  Murray McDavid is a Scottish bottler with a long history and a clear philosophy: find interesting casks, experiment with unexpected combinations and bottle with respect for the distillate's character. The Benchmark Series is the line of larger batches – this batch yielded 1,803 bottles.

  Justino Madeira's casks – from the Portuguese Atlantic island – are known for their sweet, nutty and lightly oxidised profile. Caol Ila's young smoke meets it and produces an expression both fresh and surprisingly complex for its age.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Young, fresh Caol Ila smoke meets sweet, nutty Madeira notes. Dried fruit, a warm spice note and a hint of salt.

  Palate

  Light and fresh with a sweet Madeira frame around Caol Ila's smoke. Toffee, light citrus and a slightly medicinal edge showing the distillate's youth.

  Finish

  Relatively short but fresh. Smoke and Madeira sweetness close with light saltiness and a little pepper.

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0090

  Lennox is the old name for the land around Loch Lomond, and Murray McDavid has used it as the title for this young, heavily peated take on Croftengea – a whisky with no time for caution.

  Expert's Description

  Croftengea Lennox Peat 2018/2022 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in oak casks and bottled at 46%.

  The whisky was distilled in 2018 under Loch Lomond's heavily peated Croftengea profile and, after four years of maturation, was bottled by independent bottler Murray McDavid in 2022 under the name "Lennox Peat" – named after the historic term for the land surrounding the loch. Murray McDavid always bottles at a minimum of 46% with no added colouring or chill filtration.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Coastal smoke meets sweet lemon sponge and a hint of freshly baked bread.

  Palate

  Medicinal, fresh peat with orange blossom and a creamy sweetness that keeps the smoke in check.

  Finish

  Gentle malt, sea spray and a hint of smoky peach in the finish.

  Dalmunach 7 years old Murray McDavid PX Sherry Finish Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48.5%

  Item no.: 22227865364-354657

  Ximénez-Spinola is a small sherry house in Jerez working only with the Pedro Ximénez grape. Their casks rarely end up in whisky — but when they do, you can taste it.

  Expert description

  Dalmunach 7 years Murray McDavid PX Sherry Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in Ximénez-Spinola PX casks and bottled at 48.5% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The release belongs to Murray McDavid's Benchmark Series and was made in 2,062 bottles. Murray McDavid was founded in 1996 and has made cask finishing its signature — the house buys casks from named wine and sherry producers rather than settling for generic sherry wood. Dalmunach opened in 2015, so everything that exists from the distillery is young.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and sweet. Raisin, date and dark chocolate, with a layer of young malt and cereal under the concentrated fruit.

  Palate

  Round and syrupy. Dried fruit, caramel and cocoa, with a lightly spiced edge from the oak. The 48.5% keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

  Finish

  Medium and sweet, with raisin, nuts and a dry spiced close.

  Girvan 2011/2022 Murray McDavid 11 years old Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0094

  Grain whisky is rarely treated as something that deserves a fine cask. Murray McDavid did the opposite and put an eleven year old Girvan into a Ximenez-Spinola PX cask, and suddenly the cereal is no longer the dull part of the equation.

  The expert description

  Girvan 2011/2022 Murray McDavid 11 Years Old is a Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky finished in a Ximenez-Spinola PX cask and bottled at 46%.

  Girvan was built in 1963 by William Grant & Sons on the Ayrshire coast and is today one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland. This release was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2022 by Murray McDavid, who rank among the bottlers working most deliberately with wood.

  The PX cask is the decisive part. Pedro Ximenez is the sweetest of the sherry styles, almost syrupy, and on a soft grain whisky it lays down a layer of dark fruit that a malt would have had to supply itself. The release yielded 1228 bottles, bottled without chill filtration and without colouring.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Raisin and dark syrup first, then vanilla and coconut from the grain character, and a note of fig behind.

  Palate

  Soft and oily with dates, muscovado and dark chocolate. The cereal sweetness sits underneath and keeps it from turning heavy.

  Finish

  Medium and sweet with dried fruit, a touch of oak and a light spiced warmth.

  Glen Elgin Murray McDavid Craft Cask Peated Finish Single Speyside Malt Whisky 44,5%

  Item no.: 222275555-55527

  Glen Elgin does not make peated whisky. But a cask that has held Islay malt remembers what it contained, and that is the detour Murray McDavid has taken to get smoke into a Speyside malt.

  The expert description

  Glen Elgin Murray McDavid Craft Cask Peated Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a bourbon cask and finished in a bourbon cask from Islay, bottled at 44.5%.

  The release belongs to Cask Craft, the Murray McDavid range where the wood is the entire starting point. The series is put together by the house Head of Whisky Creations, Dean Jode, and this edition carries the subtitle Smoke & Citrus.

  The method is simple and effective. The whisky sits first in an ordinary bourbon cask and is then moved into a bourbon cask that previously held peated Islay malt. The cask gives up the peat smoke it has absorbed, and the result is a Speyside fruitiness with a smoky edge it would never have had on its own. The whisky is bottled in natural colour as batch number PEAT-01.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Citrus peel and ripe pear first, then a dry smoke note that creeps in, and vanilla beneath it all.

  Palate

  Fresh and fruity up front with orange and yellow fruit, while the smoke builds slowly and lays an ash and pepper note underneath.

  Finish

  Medium with citrus, dry smoke and a final malty sweetness.

  GlenAllachie 2008/2020 Murray McDavid 12 year old 1st fill Cognac Casks Single Speyside Malt Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278443

  Murray McDavid has built its name on giving whisky one last, distinctive turn on unusual cask types — and here that turn is cognac. This GlenAllachie, distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020 after 12 years, spent its final year in ex-cognac casks following maturation in a sherry butt. The result is creamy malt, fruity toffee and a touch of vanilla.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2008/2020 Murray McDavid 12 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, matured in a sherry butt and finished in 1st fill cognac casks, bottled at 50% ABV.

  Murray McDavid calls itself the "pioneers of whisky maturation" and has built its reputation on exactly this kind of cask experimentation, where an already mature distillate is given one final finish that pulls it in a new direction. Here, the last 12 months of maturation took place in two specific 1st fill cognac casks (#1910865 and #1920865), after the whisky had already drawn its base character from a sherry butt.

  The result is a whisky where GlenAllachie's creamy, fruity sherry character meets the softer, more perfumed wood notes of cognac casks — a combination rarely seen outside the kind of independent bottlings Murray McDavid is known for.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Creamy malt and fruity toffee, with an underlying note of soft oak and a touch of vanilla from the cognac casks.

  Palate

  Soft fruit and vanilla sit up front, supported by a round, creamy sweetness from the original sherry maturation.

  Finish

  Medium length, with a gentle oak note and a lingering hint of cognac's perfumed sweetness.

  Item no.: 22227865359-2021-07-0003

  This whisky was bottled by Murray McDavid and distilled at Linkwood Distillery in Speyside. It was aged for 8 years in 8 bourbon hogsheads and finished in small 1st Fill Koval Bourbon casks of 110 liters. These barrels provide a higher ratio of contact between the spirit and the oak for a more intense aroma and flavor. It smells of creamy vanilla, caramel and a subtle hint of popcorn. On the palate, you'll find more vanilla, oak, spices and beautiful tropical fruit. The finish has notes of orange, brown sugar and, not least, malt sweetness. Murray McDavid has bottled this Linkwood as a tribute to the distillery's 200th anniversary in 2021.

  Loch Lomond 1996/2022 Murray McDavid 25 years old Highland Single Grain Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55,9%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0097

  25 years is a long time to wait for a bottle, and Murray McDavid spent the last three of them on something unusual: a cask that previously held Guyanese rum. The result is a single grain that tastes more of the Caribbean than of the Highlands.

  Expert's Description

  Loch Lomond 1996/2022 Murray McDavid 25 Year Old is a Highland Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon hogsheads with a rum finish and bottled at 55.9%.

  The whisky was distilled in 1996 and spent 22 of its 25 years in bourbon hogsheads, before receiving a final finish in an SXG Diamond cask from the Guyanese Diamond rum distillery. Murray McDavid bottled the whisky in 2022 as part of its Mission Gold series, with only 391 bottles in total.

  Exotic bouquet of pineapple, banana and mango, layered with vanilla, honey, sugarcane and a touch of oak and ginger.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and creamy, with waves of ripe tropical fruit, soft toffee, rum-soaked raisins and a hint of coconut.

  Finish

  Long, sweet finish with lingering tropical fruit and a warm rum tone.
