For the finish, Murray McDavid brought together whisky from one Margaux wine cask and one PX sherry cask from Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola. Maturation in American oak and these two cask influences shape this 28-year-old release in the Mission Gold range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blended malt is a so-called teaspooned whisky: almost all of it is a single malt from one Highland distillery, with a very small quantity of another malt added. The main distillery’s tall stills, reminiscent of giraffes’ necks, inspired the name La Girafe Chic and reflect the elegant, light character of its spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky was distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2026 as part of the autumn collection. Casks 1913367 and 2310072 yielded 573 bottles. Bottled at 52.9% alcohol in a 0.7-litre bottle, it is non-chill filtered and contains no added colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the nose, caramel and baked berries mingle with the scent of vanilla pods.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the palate, chocolate and redcurrants meet rosewater.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral notes and baked fruit linger on the finish, accompanied by oak spice and a dense, almost chewy mouthfeel.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery\/Bottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurray McDavid was founded in 1994 by London wine merchants Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin together with Gordon Wright of Springbank Distillery. Their wine expertise informed their cask selection: the independent bottler made its name early on by finishing whiskies in distinctive wine casks. Today, its home is at Coleburn Distillery in Speyside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its finishes, the team works directly with wine and spirits producers to source freshly emptied casks. In Coleburn’s traditional warehouses, it monitors the development of each cask and tailors further maturation to the individual whisky. Murray McDavid calls this interplay of spirit character, cask selection and ageing time The Art of Maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e28 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlended Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e52.9%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillation year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1997\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMurray McDavid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMission Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask number\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1913367 and 2310072\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottle count\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e573\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMurray McDavid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMargaux wine cask and PX sherry cask\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHighlands\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"La Girafe Chic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57660264251765,"sku":"124051","price":176.1,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/c40b1b70aa1576b09f0e143cbf7dd508.webp?v=1792192184","url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/products\/la-girafe-chic-1997-2026-28-y-o-margaux-wine-px-sherry-casks-murray-mcdavid","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
