An eleven-year-old Speyside single malt from Murray McDavid's Benchmark range, distilled in 2014 and bottled in autumn 2025. It matured for seven years in ex-bourbon wood and then four years in first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads.
The whisky comes from casks 2100094 and 2100096, with 715 bottles filled at 55.6% without chill filtration or colouring. Caramel apple and fruit crumble meet cocoa, sweet mocha, red fruits and spices.
The nose combines caramel apple, a creamy impression and fruit crumble, with dried fruits, spices and a hint of oak. The palate brings cocoa, sweet mocha and juicy red fruits, rounded by dark chocolate, nuts and light honey sweetness. The finish is long and warm with caramel, poached pear and baking spices, leaving oak and subtle spice.
