- Description
- This 28-year-old Strathmill (1996) takes an unconventional path: after initial maturation, it finished in red wine barriques from Saint-Julien in Bordeaux, imparting velvet tannins and château-like structure to the Speyside foundation. Murray McDavid's Mission Gold line captures a rare fusion of Scottish and French winemaking traditions.
