GLEN GRANT - 40 years - 1948 - Gordon & Macphail - 40%
Gordon & MacPhail is a renowned independent bottler of Scottish whisky, recognized for its expertise and exceptional heritage. Owner of the famous Benromach distillery, this house offers a prestigious and varied range of bottlings from the most reputed distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1895 in Elgin, in northeast Scotland, as a grocery and wine and spirits merchant, Gordon & MacPhail embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. In 1915, former apprentice John Urquhart took over the family business, which still today maintains a century-old passion for quality whisky.
The Glen Grant distillery is located in Rothes, the prestigious heart of Speyside, an emblematic whisky-producing region in Scotland. Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant, former distillers and ex-smugglers who chose legality, the distillery has preserved a unique know-how over the centuries. After the founders' deaths in 1872, James "The Major" Grant, born in 1847, took the reins with an innovative and dynamic vision. A worthy heir and innovator, this pioneer transformed Glen Grant into a benchmark under his leadership: the first man in the Highlands to own a car, he was behind the first electrical installations in a distillery and introduced the slender stills and purifiers that still today give Glen Grant its fresh malty flavor and characteristic light color.
