Having spent most of its life in a hogshead, our Whisky Creations Team filled this spirit into two freshly emptied barrels from Koval Distillery, previously used to mature bourbon. Having spent 10 months in the 110-litre casks, we were closely monitoring this increasingly rare whisky, eagerly awaiting the moment to bottle this heritage spirit.

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 spirits and wines .
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 whisky.
