Our Ranges

Established in 1898 the distillery experienced many closures and changes of ownership prior to 1993 when malt whisky specialists, Gordon & MacPhail rescued it. After being extensively re-equipped, Benromach was officially re-opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in 1998. Just two experienced distillers create Benromach using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach Distillery for many years.

In partnership with each respective distillery, all whiskies in our Rare Vintage range are uniquely labelled. In years gone by many of these unique designs were used 'officially' to bottle the whisky under license from the distillery. Today these trusted relationships with distillers enables Gordon & MacPhail to bottle exclusive vintages of single malt at various strengths – all with their unique distillery label.

Gordon & MacPhail bottles a series of single malt whiskies from one of the world's most famous distilleries – Macallan. Established in 1824 the distillery overlooks some of the finest fishing beats on the River Spey.

Private Collection is a range of single malt whiskies personally selected by the Directors of Gordon & MacPhail. Each is of exceptional age and rarity, and of outstanding character and quality.

Only single malts that are 'rare' and indeed 'old' are considered appropriate to become part of the Rare Old range, which was introduced in 1999. Add in the third and most important criterion, 'quality', and these defining principles provide the guidelines of which the Directors at Gordon & MacPhail carefully select these single malts.

MacPhail's single malt is distilled to our order and then matured in our own casks either at its place of birth or in our warehouse in Elgin. The distillery of origin is a closely guarded secret giving the fine malt an air of mystery. It is full bodied, complex and graceful. Mellowed by age and ennobled by pedigree.

Gordon & MacPhail has developed a classic range of blended malts demonstrating the distinctive styles of the whisky producing regions. A blended malt is a marriage of malt whiskies from different distilleries.

Distilled on 2nd February 1952, four days before the Queen acceded the throne, the whisky was bottled on 2nd February 2012 at cask strength, making it exactly 60 years old.
