For the MacPhail’s single malt range, the distillery of origin is a closely guarded secret, giving it a certain air of intrigue. All releases in the range have been matured in casks produced to our exact specifications. Expect complex, rich and elegant whiskies with sweet Sherry influences and a subtle hint of smoke.
Cask Type: Sherry
Nose: Stewed fruit notes combined with apple, roasted nuts and subtle chocolate. Honeycomb and dried apricots come through in time
Palate: Spicy to start, followed by blackberry, raspberry and apple. Developing into milk chocolate, tangerine and oak.
Finish: Medium finish with hints of menthol and lasting cocoa.
Gordon & MacPhail is an independent bottler and distiller of Scotch Whisky, founded in 1895 and located in Elgin in the north-east of Scotland. James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail established a grocery business and started in the scotch whisky business. In the early days John Urquhart started as an apprentice and quicky established himself as a valuable associate for James Gordon in selecting, purchasing, and maturing whiskies from local distilleries. John Urquhart developed his skills as a Master of Malt Whisky, building an impressive portfolio of maturing whisky casks. John continued to run the business and was then able to pass his knowledge and passion for whisky to his family. Gordon and MacPhail continue to be a family run business owned by the Urquhart Family.
Established in 1904 our shop The Whisky Castle in the village of Tomintoul is a Gordon and MacPhail Scottish retailer.
