SUMMARY:Barrel-Up to The Old Bothy\, hidden in the hills of Glenrinnes
DESCRIPTION:Join me and my team as we congregate at a special location. We have an old bothy tucked away in the Glenrinnes hills\, an area once notorious for illicit whisky making. Now\, after 300 years\, it is just a stone ruin but beautiful and enchanting. As dusk settles in\, and guests gather around a roaring fire\, out of the darkness a cask of Speyside single malt will arrive in ceremonial splendour… and the celebrations begin. \nAgainst the background of live music\, the chatter of good company and crackling fire\, I invite you to sample our specially selected cask for The Old Bothy and enjoy a BBQ and refreshments. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be offered a selection of five delicious drams under the stars\, taking you well into the night! \nTo crown the evening off\, you’ll be given the opportunity to draw your own whisky directly from The Old Bothy Barrel’ and take it away as a memento to enjoy and cherish. \nI look forward to seeing you\, \nSlainte! \nDean Jode\, Head of Whisky Creation – Murray McDavid \nOffering: 5 x 2cl drams\, 1x 20cl bottle\, live music\, BBQ food and bar available. \nIf required\, please pre-order ‘Driver’s Drams’ before the event. \nWe will be in contact with guests regarding any special food requirements. \nAn on-site shop selling Murray McDavid whiskies\, including their 2026 Spirit of Speyside Festival Bottling. \nAccessibility: The path to The Old Bothy is uneven and\, on an incline\, which may make access challenging for those with limited mobility.

SUMMARY:Murray McDavid presents The Spirit of Speyside Bottling 2026 - 29 April
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, I select a cask of whisky to be bottled exclusively for the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival – a whisky that reflects the nature of Murray McDavid. The selection will always be a Speyside single malt\, and it is chosen to challenge the norm\, to challenge the trope that older whisky does not equal better whisky… \nIt’s a bold statement\, but we have not missed the mark yet. \nI gladly invite fellow whisky lovers to join me at The Old Bank Whisky Shop\, in Forres\, to come along and be amongst the very first to try this year’s special bottling for the Spirit of Speyside 2026!” \nDean Jode\, Head of Whisky Creation – Murray McDavid \nDriving? No problem! Take your drams home with a handy driver’s pack (to be ordered prior to your arrival). \nEnjoy discounts on Murray McDavid whiskies\, including their exclusive 2026 Spirit of Speyside Festival Bottling. \nAccessibility: Ramp access is available at the entrance via the carpark. Let us know of any requirements\, and we’ll do our best to assist.\nRefund Policy: Request must be received 7 days before event.\nGetting here: For further information about transport\, directions\, accommodation\, drivers drams or accessibility\, please contact dean.jode@murray-mcdavid.com
