Murray McDavid Braes Glenlivet

In the 1800s, hidden deep within the wilderness of Speyside, the braes (hills) of Glenlivet glowed with the flickering fires of notorious, illicit stills. We present this aboriginal spirit of Speyside that skilfully balances the traditions of distilling combined with a contemporary and novel take on the Art of Maturation. “Finishing this venerable single malt in prestigious Margaux wine barriques has been an exciting journey full of risk and danger. After four years in French oak, now is the time that the balance between the wood and spirit is at its most harmonious – a classy, mature dram truly worthy of our prestigious Mission Gold honour.” Nose : sweet malt, toffee apple, mild tobacco Palate : forest fruit, buttery malt, floral honey Finish : oily, creamy cereal, lingering berries
