Balmenach Murray McDavid Benchmark Single Cask #800410 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2001 Vintage
Out of stock
One of the oldest distilleries in Speyside, Balmenach creates its single malt whisky in the most traditional of styles. With a long fermentation and quick distillation, this spirit is ideal for slow ageing, perfectly suited to the environment created within the thick walls of Coleburn Distillery.
This is a single malt for the purist. Having softly and slowly developed in a single refill bourbon cask for its entire maturation, Murray Mcdavid is showcasing the delicate nature of this classy malt as it gently gains age and sophistication.
