The Fiddichside is a 31-year-old blended malt from Murray McDavid honoring the legendary Fiddichside Inn on the River Fiddich, combining two Speyside single malts finished in contrasting sherry casks—one in Pedro Ximénez for six months, the other in Oloroso for two years. The dual sherry finishing approach creates layered complexity: the PX brings rich dark fruit and molasses, while Oloroso adds dried citrus and subtle tannins. This limited release showcases how cask finishing can elevate even well-aged Speyside spirit into something decidedly special. For those who appreciate the interplay between cask influence and distillery character.
