Murray McDavid
Tasting Notes
Known for its intriguing and distinctive flavors, the Safe Haven 8 Year Old 2014 Grapefruit Sour Cask Finish from Murray McDavid's Mystery Malt series is a true delight for whisky enthusiasts. Hailing from a renowned Highland distillery established in 1798, this peated single malt spent eight years maturing in a bourbon barrel before being finished in a cask that previously held Grapefruit Sour beer, imparting a tantalizing twist. The aroma tantalizes with rich peat smoke, dried apples, tangy citrus, and a hint of gooseberry. On the palate, the zesty citrus tang takes center stage, accompanied by vibrant grapefruit and oily peat smoke. The finish lingers with rich, tarry smoke, flamed citrus, dried hops, and oaken vanilla. With only 308 bottles released, this whisky offers a truly unique and captivating experience for those seeking something extraordinary.
