Juniper Hill 2015 Murray McDavid Port, Madeira & Barolo Cask - 53,5%
The independent bottlers at Murray McDavid see themselves as masters of cask finishing, which they impressively demonstrate with this single malt distilled in 2015. The spirit comes from a distillery steeped in tradition near the River Findhorn, whose name is closely linked to the juniper bush and which is one of the pioneers of the single malt world. After eight years of maturation, completed by a complex finish in port, Madeira and Barolo casks, the spirit presents itself in a natural, deep copper colour. With a limited edition of 1602 bottles, this whisky remains an exclusive puzzle for discerning explorers.
On the nose, an elegant interplay of dark fruit, creamy malt notes and fine nougat praline unfolds. On the palate, at a powerful 53,5 % vol, the bottling shows its full intensity: rich notes of fruit cake and red berries meet dark chocolate and the subtle spice of candied ginger. The finish is long and full of character, marked by savoury caramel, fresh walnuts and a pinch of black pepper that blends harmoniously with the gentle oak spice.
Tasting Notes

Product information "Juniper Hill 2015 Murray McDavid Port, Madeira & Barolo Cask - 53,5%"
What sets this Juniper Hill apart is not the grand gesture but rather its skilful play with European wine cask influences. Murray McDavid's "Mystery Malt" series hides a Highland single malt that subtly hints at its origins, but above all tells its own complex story through its exceptional maturation.

What begins as pure malted barley in the Scottish Highlands goes through a process here in which patience is the most important ingredient. Over seventeen years, in the stillness of the warehouse, this single malt has undergone a metamorphosis that lifts it far beyond its original profile and blurs the boundaries between the Scottish art of distilling and Italian winemaking culture. The 1st Fill Barolo barrique shapes this 17-year-old malt with dense berry notes. Discover its fascinating, wine-led complexity.
