Murray McDavid
Murray McDavid was founded in 1997, specializing in the bottling of a wide range of single malts in short runs.
The bottlings are without exception of a captivating quality, which is not least due to the fact that Murray McDavid such greats as Jim McEwan (Master Distiller Bruichladdich), Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright (a member of the Springbank clan) together to have!
Awarded several times by various whiskey industry institutions, Murray McDavid stands for exclusivity and the highest quality.
Murray McDavid offers his whiskeys exclusively without dyes and without cold filtration.
The malts are in ideal drinking strength with 46% vol. bottled (only exceptions are bottlings in barrel size).
For the mission series, barrels are selected from distilleries that, on the one hand, are older than Murray McDavid's "usual" bottlings and, on the other hand, meet or even exceed quality standards.

Caol Ila 1984
Founded in 1846, Caol Ila joined Balloch, Lade & Co. in 1863, acquired by Robertson & Baxter in 1920, and finally taken over by UDV (United Distillers and Vintners) in 1927 by DCL.
In the years 1972 to 1974 Caol Ila was completely renovated.
Caol Ila is considered an insider tip, compared to other Islay whiskeys it is light - but it has an intense peat taste.
