Benrinnes Madeira Cask Finish - Cask Craft - Murray McDavid

Special features: The Benrinnes Madeira Cask Finish is bottled at the renowned Benrinnes Distillery in Scotland's Speyside region. This bottling is part of the Cask Craft Collection by Murray McDavid, known for its unique cask-finishing techniques. After an initial maturation phase, the whisky undergoes a secondary maturation in Madeira wine barrels, which adds additional flavors and complexity. With an alcohol content of 44.5%, this whisky offers a balanced and accessible drinking strength. It is characterized by its fruity and spicy notes that are harmoniously intertwined.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, aromas of muesli, garden fruits, and fresh sweet pastries unfold. This combination conveys an inviting and fruity character.
• Palate: On the palate, the flavors of blood orange and dried fruits dominate, accompanied by a soft oak spice. These flavor nuances create a complex mouthfeel.
• Finish: The finish remains full-bodied and long-lasting with notes of dried fruits, blood oranges, and a hint of spice.

Distillery/Bottler: Murray McDavid was founded in 1996 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Gordon Wright. Gordon Wright was previously the director of the Springbank Distillery, bringing his experience into production. In the early 2000s, Murray McDavid acquired the Bruichladdich Distillery and resumed production before being taken over in 2012 by the British subsidiary of Rémy Cointreau. The company is known for its innovative method of 'Additional Cask Enhancement' (ACE), where whiskies are transferred to selected casks to refine the flavor profile.
