Peatside 6 Year Old 2014 - The Vatting (Murray McDavid) (2021 Release)
Murray McDavid
Tasting Notes
Imagine the raw power of a blazing campfire mingling with the salty caress of the ocean breeze. This Peatside 6 Year Old whisky from Murray McDavid captures that paradoxical dance between smoky intensity and sweet, creamy indulgence. The aroma tantalizes with notes of grilled pineapple and clotted cream, hinting at the delightful interplay of flavors to come. On the palate, a velvety mouthfeel ushers in a symphony of sweet peat smoke, juicy sherried fruit, and oak spice. The finish lingers with a prickle of smoked pepper, warming baking spices, and a charred oak finale. Crafted from two masterfully combined single malts, one heavily peated and the other creamy and sweet, this youthful expression achieves a bold yet harmonious balance. Matured in bourbon hogsheads and finished in Pedro Ximènez sherry casks, this limited release of 1,542 bottles is a testament to Murray McDavid's artistry in vatting exceptional whiskies.
