About This Murray McDavid Whisky

The Isle of Mull is home to just one small, charming whisky distillery – Tobermory, overlooking the picturesque fishing harbour. Its idyllic location, right at the seafront of the island’s capital, adds to the maritime character of its heavily peated single malt whisky.

For its final three years, Murray McDavid further matured this rare, well-aged Hebridean spirit in an exceptional Margaux wine cask. The integration between the smoke-ladened Ledaig and the red wine-soaked European oak has created a superb single malt whisky.

Meet The Whiskymaker

Dean Jode

Dean Jode is Head of Whisky Creations at Murray McDavid. Dean usually starts with single cask whiskies that have been filled into refill casks. He believes the oak cask is the most important factor when creating exceptionally balanced and delicious whisky. So a big part of Dean’s job is searching for the very best quality casks from around the world to re-rack whiskies into.

Dean builds relationships with fellow producers of exceptional drinks by importing their freshly emptied casks for the additional maturation of our ever-growing inventory of Scotch whisky. Using these casks fresh is of key importance. This is where Dean creates not only beautiful spirit colour but more importantly enriches the spirit’s character to create a dram with an exceptional depth of flavour.

Within the traditional whisky warehouses at Coleburn, Dean monitors each and every cask to capture the perfect moment when the nature of the cask has perfectly intertwined with its resting spirit.
