The Murray McDavid Benchmark 16 Years Old Blair Athol 2008 is a powerfully matured single malt Scotch whisky from the Scottish Highlands, which develops a unique range of flavours thanks to its special secondary maturation in Koval bourbon casks from Chicago. This 16-year-old bottling, distilled in 2008, combines the traditional notes of the Blair Athol Distillery with the aromatic signature of an artisanally crafted small-batch bourbon from the USA.

Bottled at 54.2 % ABV at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and uncoloured, this whisky displays distinct depth, spiciness and sweetness in perfect balance. The Koval casks, made from fresh American oak, lend this robust Highland malt additional complexity – with distinct notes of vanilla, honey and grain, embedded in a full-bodied profile with a long finish.

As part of Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series, this limited edition bottling epitomises high-quality cask management, creative finishing and purist whisky enjoyment. Presented in a stylish gift box (UK), this whisky is perfect as a special collector’s item or a high-quality gift for seasoned connoisseurs.
