New Murray McDavid releases
November 12th, 2007When I visited Bruichladdich back in May, it was obvious to me that there won’t be a shortage of Murray McDavid whiskies any time soon. A lot of casks of what will be bottled as Murray McDavid whiskies are being matured at Bruichladdich. (In fact, I sampled my way through about a dozen of them with Jim McEwan, whiskymaker for Bruichladdich and Murray McDavid.)
Here’s a list of the new releases to the U.S., which I received directly from the importer. (With review samples!)
Here they are, listed alphabetically:
Bowmore, 11 yr., 1995 viognier cask finished, $75
Caol Ila, 14 yr., 1993, fresh sherry aged, $92
Clynelish, 11 yr., 1995, port cask finish, $72
Highland Park, 17 yr., 1989, refill sherry cask aged, port finished, $86
Littlemill, 16 yr., 1991, bourbon cask aged, $72
Macallan, 9 yr., 1997, Ridge Zinfandel cask finished, $69
Macallan, 16 yr., 1990, Madeira cask finished, $125
And from the Murray McDavid Mission Range:
Glenglassaugh, 20 yr., 1986, fresh sherry cask aged, $175
I’ll provide some overall impressions after I taste my way through them.
