About Murray McDavid

Whether sherry casks from Spanish bodegas, strong wine barrels from Madeira, port pipes from Portugal, barrique barrels from Europe’s top winemakers, barrels from Caribbean rum distilleries or bourbon casks from the USA: Murray McDavid sources barrels directly from the producer. The wooden treasure has become the trademark of the renowned independent bottler. Founded in 1994 by Mark Reynier (current CEO of Waterford and Renegade), Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright (Springbank Distillery), Murray McDavid quickly made a name for itself with maturation in exquisite barrels. The team is also known for taking over and “rescuing” the Bruichladdich Distillery.

Murray McDavid is at home in the disused Coleburn Distillery on Speyside. In the traditional dunnage warehouse, the bottlings mature between low, thick walls and on clay soil. Single malt and grain whiskey, vatted malts and blended whiskey appear in different series. Their heart: benchmark. Only first-class single malts find their way into the turquoise labeled bottles.

This Invergordon 35 years 1987/2023 was finished in the Ximénez-Spinola PX Sherry Cask and matured into a complex, aged single grain whisky.
