The Dailuaine 6 Year Old from Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series is a vibrant Speyside single malt, bottled in 2024. It was first matured in bourbon hogsheads before being finished in first-fill Madeira wine barriques, lending a sweet and fruity depth to its youthful spirit. Sourced from casks 300883, 885, 301444, 446, and 301444A, this small-batch release exemplifies the innovative cask finishing that defines the Benchmark collection.

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.
