Gordon & MacPhail is a prestigious independent bottler of Scottish whisky and a recognized owner of the Benromach distillery. Renowned for its exclusive and highly diverse selection of bottlings from some of Scotland's most iconic distilleries, this house embodies the excellence and tradition of whisky. Founded in 1895 as a grocery and wine and spirits merchant in Elgin, in northeast Scotland, it has preserved its family heritage and unique expertise. In 1915, former apprentice John Urquhart took full control of the company, thus consolidating a reputation for authenticity and quality. More than a century later, Gordon & MacPhail remains an essential reference in the world of premium whisky.
The Glenlivet distillery, a jewel of the Speyside in Scotland, was founded in 1824 and has operated almost continuously since its creation. Known for its refinement and aromatic richness, it has endured through the ages, remaining open even during the Great Depression, with only a temporary closure during World War II. Its rapid post-war development propelled it among the largest Single Malt distilleries in the world. Currently owned by the Pernod Ricard group, it continues to embody the excellence of traditional Scottish whisky.
