Murray McDavid presents The Spirit of Speyside bottling 2026

Information

Every year, I select a cask of whisky to be bottled exclusively for the Spirit of Speyside whisky festival – a whisky that reflects the nature of Murray McDavid. The selection will always be a Speyside single malt, and it is chosen to challenge the norm, to challenge the trope that older whisky does not equal better whisky…

It’s a bold statement, but we have not missed the mark yet.

I gladly invite fellow whisky lovers to join me at The Old Bank Whisky Shop, in Forres, to come along and be amongst the very first to try this year’s special bottling for the Spirit of Speyside 2026!”
