The Story of Gordon & Macphail

Gordon & Macphail was founded in 1895 in Elgin, Morayshire – known as “The Whisky Capital of the World”. The town’s proximity to Speyside, where much of Scotland’s malt whisky is produced, combined with the cool, damp climate along the River Lossie, creates ideal conditions for whisky maturation over decades.

As an independent bottler, Gordon & Macphail has built exceptional expertise over generations in selecting and maturing casks from Scotland’s most prestigious distilleries. With respect for traditional methods – dating back to the first official whisky licence granted in 1824 – the house ensures that each bottling preserves the authentic character and quality of malt whisky.
