Notes from the bottle.

Murray McDavid-Scotch Whisky Bottler

Established early in 1994, Murray McDavid has quickly become a leading Scotch whisky bottler. One of the first to start using a variety of interesting casks in the Art of Maturation to produce Inspired Scotch Whisky.

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, Islay’s most celebrated Master Distiller.

In 2012, spirits giant Remy Cointreau purchased Bruichladdich Distillery and Murray McDavid. Later, Murray McDavid was sold to its current owners, leading Scotch whisky broker, Aceo Ltd. Today, the home of Murray McDavid is Coleburn Distillery in Speyside, where we continue the tradition of bottling artfully-matured Scotch whisky.

ALLT-A-BHAINNE Distillery

At the foot of the mighty Ben Rinnes Mountain is one of the lesser-known distilleries in Scotland. Allt-a-Bhainne is a hidden gem, producing only a small amount of fruity single malt each year.

This rare Speysider has been affectionately matured in Kentucky bourbon and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks over the past quarter of a century.

Gently maturing for 22 years in American oak, this Allt-a-Bhainne has developed qualities that only time and patience can create.

Adding further complexity, this 25-year-old spirit rested for its final three years in a Pedro Ximénez Sherry cask to complement the delicacies within this highly venerable single malt whisky.
