Laphroaig 'Leapfrog' 1987 Murray McDavid 12 Year Old

A single bourbon cask Laphroaig, bottled exclusively by Murray McDavid.

Murray McDavid were founded in 1996 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin and ex-Springbank distillery Director, Gordon Wright. The company bought re-opened Bruichladdich distillery in December 2000, hiring Jim McEwan as Master Distiller. The company was purchased by Remy Cointreau in 2012, with the Murray McDavid brand eventually returning to Scottish hands the following year. Murray McDavid is famed for coining the term "ACE-ing" (additional cask enhancement) in relation to their cask finishing process, something they continue to use to great effect to this day.

Distilled March 1987 and bottled in September 2000. 

Unable to state the name of the distillery explicitly, this is titled 'Leapfrog.' The text on the label alludes to a spat between the company and distillery proprietors Allied Distillers, although is generally in-keeping with the salty tone of Murray MacDavid labels at the time.
