Join Dean Jode, Head of Whisky Creations at Murray McDavid, for a special tasting from some of his most interesting and enjoyable casks. Price: £75.00 | Capacity: 25
Over the past decade, I have been working inside Murray McDavid’s whisky warehouses at Coleburn, selecting thousands of casks to be bottled. During this intimate tasting experience, I will lead by walking, talking and navigating you through the stows, around our atmospheric warehouse, where I’ll be opening casks that have captured my curiosity over the years and will share a selection of drams that continue to inspire, intrigue and delight.
This behind-the-scenes experience promises to offer whisky that you will want to either ‘snog, marry, avoid’… leaving you with a greater understanding and appreciation towards creativity behind the Art of Maturation.”
