Strathmill Benchmark 10 Year Old, American Oak & Koval Quarter Cask Finish, 2014, Murray McDavid, 51.1%

Since 1994, Murray McDavid has been pioneering the Art of Maturation, aging whisky in casks that previously held wine, spirits, and beers. The Benchmark range offers small craft batches of distinctive, artfully matured single malt Scotch. This Strathmill expression, distilled in 2014, was matured in finely made American oak casks and then finished in Koval Quarter Casks from Koval Distillery in Chicago, USA, resulting in a creamy, fruity dram with sweet and spicy notes.
