- Description
- Murray McDavid's Peatside is a bold 6-year-old blended malt pairing heavily peated spirit with creamy, sweet malt to achieve balance despite its youth. Distilled in 2014, matured in bourbon hogsheads, and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, the young peated base provides smoke and intensity while the sweeter component and sherry finishing round the profile into something harmonious. With 1,542 bottles produced, this demonstrates how intelligent blending can deliver complexity at a young age. A confident expression for those seeking peat-forward character with structure.
