Distillery/Bottler: The Macallan Distillery, founded in 1824, is known for its high-quality single malts, which often mature in sherry casks. Murray McDavid, an independent bottler based in the former Coleburn Distillery in Speyside, specializes in bottling whiskies with special cask maturations. They were founded in 1994 by London wine merchants Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Gordon Wright and quickly gained a special reputation for maturing whisky in interesting casks, particularly in fine wine casks.
