Murray McDavid·BenchmarkGlenrothes Ximénez-Spinola PX Cask Finish

This Speyside single malt from Glenrothes was bottled by independent bottler Murray McDavid at 12 years old and finished in a Pedro Ximénez seasoned cask. PX cask finishing is widely associated with a richer, sweeter style, often adding notes linked to dried fruit and dessert-like richness.

At 54.1% ABV, this is a full-strength whisky that may show more intensity than a standard bottling. For a novice drinker, expect a bold profile where the distillery’s malt character is likely layered with cask-led sweetness and spice.
