Murray McDavid 'Mission' (distilled at Dallas Dhu) 1979, 46%

Price: 150.00 Issue: Fall 2003 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

Bright gold/straw color. Lively aroma of honey-drenched fruit (pineapple, red currant, citrus) with a rich malty foundation. Subtle floral notes in the background. Medium in body, but thick, almost mouth-coating in texture (a classic Dallas Dhu signature). Clean flavors on the palate-honey, interwoven fruit, vanilla, with a dry "polished oak" finish.
