Murray
McDavid was established in 1995 by Mark
Reyneir, Gordon Wright and Simon
Coughlin. The company was named after
co-founder Mark Reyniers grandparents;
Harriet Murray and Jack McDavid.
They aim to bottle only the best casks
possible, at the ideal drinking strength
of 46%, without chill-filtration or
colouration, to produce whiskies, not
merely for collection, but for drinking.
They do not believe in high cask
strengths: at 46% only a little water is
required to release the flavours and
enhance the aromas in your glass,
without blowing your brains.
Cask selection is vital: there are very
few casks that genuinely merit being
bottled on their own, and far too many
are, in the mistaken belief that their
'uniqueness' alone is worthy of
attention.
The Murray McDavid range is very
selective and all casks are chosen by
Jim McEwan from the Bruichladdich which
Murray McDavid aquired in 2000. Jim has
over 40 years experience in the whisky
industry.
Unlike most
independent whisky bottlers their
bottlings are a vatting of 4 or 5 casks
of the same age and bottled at 46% ABV
without chill filtration or any added
colouring.
They have three main
ranges; the Murray McDavid range,
the Mission Range which is unusual aged
whisky and the Celtic Heartlands range
which is from very old casks from the
1960s or 1970s.
