About
The mystery of Scotland brings many people from far and wide to Speyside, the heart of malt whisky country.
And with over a dozen distilleries a stones throw away it is no small wonder Elgin is seen as the capital and
centre of malt whisky country.
It is from this central location that the founders of Gordon & MacPhail, Mr James Gordon and Mr John Alexander
MacPhail, forged links and pooled their resources to create an establishment that celebrated its Centenary year
in 1995.
Established in 1895, long before the days of supermarkets, instant coffee and refrigerators, Gordon & MacPhail
soon became an essential part of the Elgin community, offering customers grocery products of the highest quality.
As you enter the shop you will be greeted by the aroma of freshly ground coffee, home cooked local gammon and a
superb selection of the finest cheeses available in the North East. The shelves are packed with a fantastic array of
high quality grocery products. Both continental and local cheese baskets made to order.
From as far back as 1895 Gordon & MacPhail have been selecting and buying malt whisky from distilleries throughout
all the regions of Scotland, maturing it in their own casks and bottling it, when they consider it to be at its best,
for sale under their own labels. It is from this foundation that the shop welcomes visitors from all over the world,
looking for that special bottle of Scotch whisky to take home.
It is now famous throughout the world for its unequalled stocks of whisky ~ around 700 different expressions of whisky
are available at any one time. Some of them are extremely rare.
Many of Gordon & MacPhail's brands are available as miniatures for sampling; others are presented in specially commissioned
ceramic and crystal decanters, commemorating vintage years or events.
It has been called an Aladdin's Cave for whisky enthusiasts, who travel from all over the world to browse
through the crowded shelves
