Murray McDavid was founded in 1997, specializing in the bottling of a wide range of single malts in short runs.
The bottlings are without exception of a captivating quality, which is not least due to the fact that Murray McDavid such greats as Jim McEwan (Master Distiller Bruichladdich), Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and Gordon Wright (a member of the Springbank clan) together to have!
Awarded several times by various whiskey industry institutions, Murray McDavid stands for exclusivity and the highest quality.
Murray McDavid offers his whiskeys exclusively without dyes and without cold filtration.
The malts are in ideal drinking strength with 46% vol. bottled (only exceptions are bottlings in barrel size).
For the mission series, barrels are selected from distilleries that, on the one hand, are older than Murray McDavid's "usual" bottlings and, on the other hand, meet or even exceed quality standards.

Clynelish 1983
The history of this Northern Highlands distillery is a bit confusing.
In 1819, a distillery was built under the name Clynelish and retained this name until 1969.
The previous year, 1968, the owners had a second distillery, also opened with the name Clynelish.
So they decided to rename the first distillery in Brora.
In this first distillery was produced until 1983 with some interruptions, since it is used as a warehouse for the new distillery Clynelish.
Brora is called only the whiskey from the old distillery, which was produced here from 1969 to 1983.
In the transitional period, between opening the new and renaming the old distillery, both produced under the name Clynelish.
The Clynelish distillery in the north of the Highlands produces a strong malt with full, distinctive character.
The third edition of the Mission series includes six bottlings of various distilleries.
