Description
Murray McDavid Benchmark Tobermory 1995 20 Years Old #5
The Tobermory Distillery,on the picturesque Isle of Mull, breathes life into the tradition of lighter style whiskies. By beginning its journey in a bourbon cask, our Tobermory has been further matured in a French wine barrique from a vineyard in Allier. To the nose, the light floral blossoms mingle with rose, anise and chocolate that travel on to the palate.Flavours of Kirsch cherries and oak spices, dark orange and floral sweetness culminate into a soft and harmonious whisky - a true example of the art of maturation.
BENCHMARK Collection
is the heart of our range, offering outstanding single malts which showcase the Art of Maturation.
Aged in specially selected casks from around the world, we celebrate characterful malts both young and old.
Story
It is a happy accident of history that back in the 18th Century it was discovered that scotch whisky was greatly improved when stored in oak barrels which had previously held wine and sherry . Today Murray McDavid continues to honour this long established tradition by matyring its whisky in avariety of casks that have been used to produce other fine wines and spirits.
We source sherry casks from the bodegas of spain, fortified wine casks from Maderia, port pipes from Portugal and a wide selection of wine barriques from Europe's finest vineyards. We also seek out barrels from the rum distilleries of the Caribbean and the bourbon makers of the United States. All of our casks are used to give Murray McDavid's whisky its unique qualities and diverse styles allowing us to offer a comprehensive range of inspired scotch whiskies.
