Murray McDavid
Murray McDavid 14- This Speyside single malt is tough to find but easy to sip. The distillery sits on the coast overlooking the Moray Firth. The 14 years in that grassy coastal region has created a luscious and herbal whisky with a unique woody flavor. All aging here was in ex-bourbon barrels which imparted a complex and punchy 92 proof beauty. The north sea air no doubt added the subtle brine and honey sweetness……The nose is a spicy surprise and helps explain the long and warming mouthfeel. Its pale amber color and caramel taste marks it as a classic malt. Fun fact: much of their product goes into blends, so the lucky few get to taste the “real deal “malt, and it’s worth the effort. If you dig a bit deeper into this family of whiskies, the portfolio is vast and varied. Seek and destroy is a military objective, seek and enjoy is our mission here. Start your new year with character and ’24 is sure to be memorable. Rated a solid 7 on the snob scale. Slàinte
