- Description
- Murray McDavid's blended malt combines Speyside whiskies distilled in 2009 and aged for ten years across bourbon and Sherry casks, with a finishing period exclusively in Sherry butts, bottled at 46% ABV in 2019. The Sherry finishing would have concentrated dried fruit, spice, and oak influence across the blend, creating a cohesive, warming dram. The Speysiders suits those seeking a well-integrated Sherry-influenced Speyside blend at cask strength.
