Tasting Notes
Introducing a captivating single malt from Blair Athol Distillery, the 8 Year Old 2015 - Benchmark by Murray McDavid. This exceptional whisky embarks on a journey of flavors, starting with a nostalgic aroma of summer fruits and berries, accompanied by the comforting scent of buttery oak, candied nuts, and a biscuity maltiness. As you take a sip, your palate is greeted by rich notes of cherries, intertwined with floral layers of honeyed stone fruits, while a touch of peppercorn warmth lingers beneath. The finish is a delightful embrace of creamy notes reminiscent of milk chocolate, a hint of nougat, and sweet cakey spice. Distilled in 2015, this whisky initially matured in bourbon hogsheads before receiving a final touch of elegance by finishing in a combination of first-fill Port and Madeira casks, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will captivate your senses.
