Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2023

May 3, 2023 | News

And just like that – another Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival is over.

What an amazing, busy week it has been for the Murray McDavid Team, welcoming whisky lovers from around the world.

It was our honour to host both the ‘Touch of Tartan’ dinner and the official festival Ceilidh for the first time, at the iconic Dallas Dhu Distillery in Forres. 

We hosted a number of events this year from Drams Under The Stars, tours of our unique Coleburn Whisky Warehouses and tastings to Whisky picnics, Build Your Own Cask and Fine Dining, to mention just a few.

Our exclusive single cask festival bottling went down a treat.

This year, we chose to bottle just 331 bottles of a youthful 5-year-old single malt from Mannochmore Distillery, finished in juicy Justino’s Madeira barriques – its flavour truly belies its age.

It was fantastic to welcome back so many old friends and make so many new ones.

Until next year… Slàinte Mhaith 🥃
