Product Description

Murray McDavid Old The Vatting 2010 Peatside Port & PX Sherry Blended: Sweet Wine Casks Meet Peated Malt

Murray McDavid Old The Vatting 2010 Peatside Port & PX Sherry Blended is a six-year-old blended malt Scotch from the independent bottler’s experimental The Vatting range. The verified importer information identifies Peatside 2010 as a marriage of single malts matured in American oak and then moved into freshly emptied Port and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

The cask combination is designed to bring ripe berry fruit, creamy sweetness, pastry, and spice around a smoky malt foundation. Murray McDavid’s archived profile lists spiced berries, strawberry, creamy vanilla, and leather on the aroma, followed by fruit, shortcrust pastry, spice, and smoked bacon on the palate.

Because this is an older limited bottling, use the label and current product images to confirm the exact bottle, proof, and presentation before ordering. Details from newer Peatside releases should not be applied to this 2010 edition.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Spiced berries, strawberry, creamy vanilla, leather, and restrained peat smoke. Palate: Ripe fruit, shortcrust pastry, warming spice, sweet fortified-wine character, and smoked bacon. Finish: Lingering smoke, dark fruit, vanilla, and drying cask spice.

Food Pairings

Pair with smoked ham, glazed pork, charcuterie, blue cheese, aged cheddar, berry tart, fruitcake, roasted nuts, or dark chocolate. The Port and PX influence suits both savory smoke and rich desserts.

Serving Suggestions

Pour neat in a tasting glass and allow the whisky time to open. Add water gradually after the first sip to separate the peat, berry fruit, pastry, and spice. Avoid excessive ice if you want to preserve the fortified-wine aromas.
