One of the first to start using a variety of interesting casks in the Art of Maturation to produce Inspired Scotch Whisky.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”2079″ size=”medium” align=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Murray McDavid was established 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]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 we continue the tradition of bottling artfully-matured Scotch whisky.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][us_separator size=”custom” height=”40px”][us_image image=”1342″ size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”2875″ size=”us_768_0″][vc_column_text]

ART OF MATURATION

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At Murray McDavid, we understand the importance of maturation in the making of whisky. Using our many years of experience and the best oak casks from around the world, we create diverse styles of inspired Scotch whisky.
It’s our emphasis on getting the best casks and practising the Art of Maturation that makes Murray McDavid’s whiskies truly special.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”2876″ size=”us_768_0″ align=”center”][vc_column_text]

REBEL THE DOG

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Rebel is the name of the West Highland Terrier, or ‘Westie’, at the centre of our logo. He represents the rebellious spirit of our founders who set up the Murray McDavid whisky company back in the 90s to pioneer the Art of Maturation and innovative cask finishing. They were trailblazers; our current Whisky Creations Team follow in their footsteps, applying the same groundbreaking approach to Scotch whisky.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1585153831847{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1585153821606{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]
