BENRINNES - 30 years old - 1990 - Gordon & MacPhail - 55.1%
Gordon & MacPhail is a key player as an independent bottler of Scottish whisky, renowned for the exceptional quality of its single malts. Owner of the famous Benromach distillery, this family business offers an exclusive and varied range of rare bottlings from the most prestigious distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1895 in Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland, initially a grocery and wine and spirits trading establishment, the company experienced a major turning point in 1915 when John Urquhart, a former apprentice, took the reins. More than a century after its creation, Gordon & MacPhail continues its family heritage and unique expertise in the world of luxury whisky.
Benrinnes is an iconic distillery nestled in Aberlour, in the heart of the prestigious Speyside region, the birthplace of some of Scotland's finest whiskies. Production on this site dates back to 1826, when Peter McKenzie established the first distillery. Destroyed by a flood in 1829, it was rebuilt in 1835 by John Innes in the outbuildings of a farm under the original name Lyne of Ruthrie. After a bankruptcy, the distillery was taken over by William Smith, who renamed it Benrinnes before handing it over to David Edward. This family managed the distillery until the early 20th century, notably with Alexander Edward at its head. In 1896, a fire devastated the facilities, requiring complete reconstruction, modernization, and expansion. From 1974 to 2007, Benrinnes stood out for a unique process of partial triple distillation, an innovation later abandoned, which gave the whisky a remarkable texture and complexity.
