Murray McDavid Mission IV (distilled at Clynelish), 1976 Vintage, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2005 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Thick in texture and palate-coating. Ripe peaches and bananas, orange chocolate, English toffee, and a hint of damp oak on the nose. I can also detect brine, seaweed, peat smoke, and spice, but it’s a little clumsy. Same story on the palate. Not a bad whisky, but I expect more from Clynelish.
