- Description
- Murray McDavid's Mulben Moor mystery malt—distilled in 2010 and kept intentionally anonymous—spent initial years in bourbon hogsheads before a finishing period in first-fill Madeira barriques added complexity. The bourbon maturation provides vanilla and oak backbone, while the Madeira finish layers dried fruit, honey, and subtle oxidative notes that elevate the overall profile. Bottled at 50% ABV with 1,553 bottles released, this eight-year-old offers intrigue and quality without revealing its source. A fun challenge for those who enjoy guessing distillery character while experiencing genuine craft in cask selection.
