Gordon & MacPhail

The World's Greatest Independent Bottler

From a small grocery shop in Elgin, Gordon & MacPhail grew into the world's most prestigious independent bottler. Their relationships with distilleries span generations — they've been filling casks at Mortlach since 1895. The Generations series, including the legendary 75 Year Old Mortlach, represents the pinnacle of aged whisky.
