New “ULTRA” Releases from Murray McDavid at Aberdeen Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

Murray McDavid brings you exceptional vintage Scotch whiskies created over decades. These ULTRA-aged whiskies have been matured in oak casks lying quietly in dark, atmospheric Victorian warehouses in Scotland – they are a true product of TIME. Whilst the busy world outside has rushed by, the precious spirit inside these casks has slowly and silently developed remarkable depth and beautiful flavours, that go far and beyond.

Caperdonich 50 Years Old
Distilled in 1972, this Caperdonich spirit was filled into an American oak hogshead to start its epic journey. The mellow nature of American oak has been the perfect vessel to elegantly evolve and enhance the classic flavours of this heritage single malt. At 50 years old, this surviving cask of rare, vintage Caperdonich Distillery spirit has been fondly nurtured over decades as it’s matured into a charming and characterful dram, representing a bygone era. A beautiful bouquet of fresh peaches and apricot cream, sweet barley sugars and vanilla pods are followed by pineapple cubes, sweet ginger and pine. Intensely tropical and vibrant aromas follow on the palate and, after a little time in the glass, the whisky blossoms to reveal sumptuous honied cereal and buttery pastry, that deliver a delicious fruity and satisfyingly long waxy finish. All orders will be shipped from the 9th of September.

Macallan 30 Years Old

This rare and precious Macallan spirit started its 30-year journey in an American oak ex-bourbon hogshead. It then lay for seven years in an Oloroso Sherry cask, where it was elegantly infused with mellow fruitiness. To conclude its three-decade journey and to add a layer of opulence, it was finally filled into a PX Sherry cask from Murray McDavid’s wood partners Ximénez-Spínola in Jerez, Spain.  Indulgent fresh honeycomb and sweet toffee aromas gently rise from the glass, followed by creamy barley sugars that bind beautifully with a hint of fig and pastry. Moreish baking spice of cinnamon and nutmeg follow to tingle the palate, along with milk chocolate and a suggestion of coffee and ginger biscuits. The satisfying finish is generous, leaving you with a memorable kiss of sweet Sherry.   The orders will be shipped from the 9th of September.

Glen Scotia 33 Years Old Ultra
This rare 33-year-old Campbeltown spirit was distilled in 1991. It was initially filled into an American oak ex-bourbon hogshead, where this hearty single malt rested and gradually mellowed during its first two decades. In 2011, it began its next chapter of maturation and flavour development when it was carefully transferred into a French Vosne-Romanée red wine barrique from the world-famous and highly celebrated wine-producing region of Burgundy. Intense aromas of baked plum and fruity tamarind spice are beautifully paired with cherries, dark chocolate and faint suggestions of a freshly cut cigar. The rich and herbaceous wild berries follow through to juicy raisins and salted caramel in the robust and complex palate. Ripe berries, nutmeg, brown sugar and dried stone fruits finish this spectacular, charismatic dram. All orders will be shipped from the 9th of September.
