The Murray McDavid Benchmark series is a range of limited-edition single malt Scotch whiskies that highlight the art of cask maturation. Each expression originates from a well-known distillery and is carefully finished in unique casks—such as wine, sherry, port, or even stout beer barrels—adding distinct layers of flavour. Un-chill filtered, naturally coloured, and often bottled at higher strengths, the Benchmark series offers whisky enthusiasts a bold and creative take on classic malts.
