The Murray McDavid BENCHMARK 13 Years Old North British 2011 is an exceptional single grain Scotch whisky which, with its unique double-cask finish and powerful character, sets new standards in the category. Distilled in 2011 at the renowned North British Distillery, this whisky was initially matured in the traditional manner before undergoing a complex finish in Portuguese Murça port and Spanish Spinola PX sherry casks – a combination that delivers sweet, fruity depth, spicy elegance and a velvety mouthfeel.

At 51.7 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and unadulterated, this 13-year-old grain whisky reveals its full expressiveness. The light structure of the grain spirit is perfectly complemented by the intense aromas of the wine casks – the result is a whisky that impresses with notes of dark fruit, toffee, toasted aromas and gentle spices.

As part of Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series, this bottling epitomises excellent cask management, hand-selected maturation and creative composition. A real insider’s tip for whisky connoisseurs who appreciate the potential of single grain whiskies with an exceptional finish.
