Murray McDavid·Select GrainGirvan Sherry / Madeira / Bourbon Cask Finish

This 16-year-old single grain Scotch whisky from Girvan was bottled by Murray McDavid at 50% ABV. Single grain whisky is often known for a lighter, smoother style than many single malts, with cask finishing used to add extra layers of sweetness, fruit, and oak.

Here, finishing in sherry, Madeira, and bourbon casks suggests a profile that may combine vanilla and soft oak with richer fruit notes from fortified wine casks. For a novice drinker, this points to a grain whisky with approachable texture and added cask-led complexity.
