Murray McDavid Auchroisk Port Cask Finished Single Malt Whiskey 700ml

Murray McDavid finishes a robust Auchroisk single malt in seasoned Tawny Port barriques, delivering a distinctly layered Speyside Scotch that showcases both traditional Scottish grain character and rich wood influence.

As part of the independent bottler’s Cask Craft series, this 700ml expression begins with a naturally sweet and fruity malt foundation. The extended maturation in rich Port casks deepens the spirit, adding a structured tannic backbone that carries dark cocoa and spiced dried fruit forward while preserving the distillery’s signature nutty profile.

Aroma & Palate: The nose balances a robust and fruity malt base with prominent notes of dark chocolate, nutty pastry, and light citrus. The palate transitions smoothly into a gentle spice, letting the Port wood integration shine without overpowering the original cereal sweetness.

Finish: Sweet, spicy, and lingering, leaving dried fruit and toasted grain residue that encourages longer sipping sessions.

Serving Recommendations: Pour neat at room temperature to experience the full breadth of the Port cask influence alongside the untouched malt core. Add a few drops of spring water to open up the underlying citrus notes and reduce alcohol heat, allowing the dark chocolate and pastry layers to emerge more clearly. Rest the glass over a single large ice cube for diluted enjoyment that maintains the lingering sweetness.
