Leapfrog 1988 10 Year Old Murray McDavid (70cl, 46%)

Leapfrog 1988 10 Year Old Murray McDavid is a whisky. Aged 10 years, bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. Murray McDavid was formed in 1996 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright and was named after Reynier’s grandparents Harriet Murray and Jock McDavid. It quickly became known for its irreverent tasting notes, edgy Gaelic slogan - ‘Clachan a Choin’ - and later for its ACEing process of finishing whisky in wine casks. They are based at Speyside’s Coleburn distillery and in 2013 the company was sold to Aceo Limited. The Murray McDavid ranges include Mission Gold, Benchmark, Mystery Malt, Select Grain, The Vatting, and Crafted Blend. Leapfrog Maverick cheeky-boys Murray McDavid were blocked form using “Laphroaig” as a descriptor by then owners Allied Distillers, so they labeled it “Leapfrog” which Allied also took exception to. Soon after settling that “Laphroaig” was okay after all, Allied self-destructed.
