About This Murray McDavid Whisky

Built on the banks of the River Deveron, Macduff Distillery has tall stills with uniquely angled lyne arms that amplify the fruitiness of this hearty highlander. For many years, Macduff’s fine spirit has been the backbone of William Lawson’s famous blend. Today, we get the opportunity to celebrate this rarely bottled single malt at an amazing 26 years old.

This bold whisky is a result of bringing together two casks of mature Macduff spirit, both finished in their respective casks for a stunning six years. By combining the generous influences of Oloroso Sherry and French red wine, Murray McDavid have created a very special dram.

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.
