Murray McDavid Mission Gold - MACALLAN 18YO Single Malt Scotch Whisky
RETAIL LOCATIONS
Limited Release, 115 Bottles
Distilled at one of the most famous whisky producers in Scotland, this is a fine example of a Macallan single malt. With some of the shortest stills in the industry, Macallan's robust, rich and oily spirit allows for maturation in full-bodied first fill casks.
Macallan is matured for an additional two years in specially selected casks from Koval Distillery in Chicago. These small, 30-gallon, charred American oak casks previously held Rye whiskey. The fresh spicy rye casks combined with the old ex-bourbon cask gives Macallan's spirit a balance of warming and sweet spice. These small casks make for excellent maturation. With a higher wood/spirit ratio than a standard American barrel, the aging affects are intensified. Murray McDavid has an exclusive agreement with Koval distillery and is the only Scotch whisky company to use their unique casks.

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.
