Coastal Embrace

The Vatting Autumn 2023

At the heart of this formidable dram is a unique and brilliant vatting created by Jim McEwan, Murray McDavid’s former Master Blender, who married single malts from Bruichladdich, Tobermory and Auchentoshan. Dean Jode, our current Master Blender, added extra oomph to the blend by adding coastal character from Highland Park and Laphroaig!

Jim’s blend was matured in succulent French red wine casks for many years, providing intense fruitiness and deep colour. We’ve introduced Highland Park, along with a gentle kiss of Laphroaig, to achieve a comforting Coastal Embrace inside your glass – an idiosyncratic coming together of legendary single malt whiskies.
