Murray McDavid Ard-Less Mystery Malt Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
In stock
Bottled by Murray McDavid, this Ard-Less Mystery Malt was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2026 at 16 years old. Finished in Ximénez-Spínola Pedro Ximénez and Tawny Port casks, it was bottled at 54.3% ABV with an outturn of 912 bottles.
That combination of PX and Tawny Port casks gives the whisky a darker, richer profile, layering dried fruit, berry sweetness and warming spice over the spirit. The result is a full-bodied, cask-led style, with plenty of depth and sweetness, but enough structure to keep it balanced rather than overly heavy.

Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and mahogany depths, a glossy bronze that glows with sun-warmed richness.
Nose
Raisins and dark berries mingle with cocoa and orange peel, brushed by polished oak with a whisper of spice—an inviting, rich, cask-led aroma that promises depth.
Palate
Rich and rounded on the palate, with layered PX sweetness, plum and dark chocolate balanced by warming spice. A full-bodied, velvety texture that carries depth and sweetness without heaviness, leaving a lingering echo of dried fruit and oak.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering dried fruit, sweet oak and gentle cocoa bitterness.
