RETAIL LOCATIONS
Limited Release, 315 bottles
From the once vibrant whisky producing region of Campbeltown, Glen Scotia is one of a handful of distilleries that remain in operation today. We present this powerful Scotch whisky after maturation in a fresh Pinot Noir wine cask.
This coastal, maritime spirit was initially filled into a refill Sherry cask in 1991 to mellow the spirit. The Murray McDavid Whisky Creations Team then transferred the whisky into a vibrant, freshly emptied red wine barrique. This very special finishing cask had previously held Pinot Noir wine from the famous Burgundy wine region of France. Over a decade, this specially selected cask from the famed Domaine Leroy of Vosne-Romanée has developed rich cherry flavours, deep colour and an extraordinary bold character to this malt.

Distillery Notes
At Murray McDavid, we understand the importance of maturation in the making of whisky. Using our many years of experience and the best oak casks from around the world, we create diverse styles of inspired Scotch whisky.
Our Whisky Creations Team travel the world in search of good wood. We select sherry casks from the bodegas of Spain, fortified wine casks from Madeira, port pipes from Portugal and a wide selection of wine barriques from Europe’s finest vineyards. We also seek out American oak barrels from bourbon makers in the United States and rum casks from distilleries in the Caribbean. We have exclusive wood supply agreements with our cask suppliers, such as the Koval Distillery in Chicago and the Murça wine cooperative in Portugal.
It’s our emphasis on getting the best casks and practising the Art of Maturation that makes Murray McDavid’s whiskies truly special.
