The Glentauchers 14 Year Old from Murray McDavid’s Benchmark series is a refined Speyside single malt, bottled in 2024. After ageing in bourbon hogsheads, it was finished in first-fill Tokaji wine barriques, imparting elegant notes of honeyed fruit and gentle spice. Drawn from casks 2100045 to 2100049, this five-cask release embodies the Benchmark range’s signature approach to creative and flavourful maturation.

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.
