Established early in 1994, by London wine merchants Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and Springbank Distillery’s Gordon Wright. They quickly gained a reputation for maturing whisky in interesting casks, especially in fine wine casks. In 2000, the Murray McDavid team set about reopening the closed Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, engaging the services of Jim McEwan, Islay’s most celebrated Master Distiller. In 2012, spirits giant Remy Cointreau purchased Bruichladdich Distillery and Murray McDavid. Later, Murray McDavid was sold to its current owners, leading Scotch whisky broker, Aceo Ltd.
Today, the home of Murray McDavid is Coleburn Distillery in Speyside, where they continue the tradition of bottling artfully matured Scotch whisky. Murray McDavid caters for the whole family of Scotch ranging from their rare and prestigious single malts in the Mission Gold series to the Select Grains and through to their carefully Crafted Blends.
At the heart of Murray McDavid is their outstanding wood policy. They look to use first fill casks from around the world, sourced from the best producers of fine drinks. With a truly astonishing diversity of casks from producers that includes whisky casks from Chicago’s Koval Distillery, Sherry butts from Bodegas Ximénez- Spínola, in Jerez, Spain. Tawny Port barrels from Caves de Murça, in Portugal, and even beer casks from the MOOR Beer Co. in Bristol, not to mention many highly acclaimed vineyards across France and Europe.
A skilfully balanced relationship between oak and spirit.
