A single cask release from the Ardbeg distillery on Islay, bottled by independent bottler Murray McDavid in their Mission Gold series. Distilled in 1993, matured in a single bourbon cask and bottled in 2011. Only 245 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at a cask strength of 56.9%.

Murray McDavid was established in 1996 by London wine merchants Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and Springbank Distillery’s Gordon Wright. 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, Remy Cointreau purchased Bruichladdich Distillery and Murray McDavid. Later, Murray McDavid was sold to its current owners, leading Scotch whisky broker, Aceo Limited. Today, the home of Murray McDavid is Coleburn distillery in Speyside.
