Gordon & MacPhail have been working with most of Scotland's Distilleries since 1895.
The Connoisseurs Choice Range by Gordon & MacPhail was created in 1968 by Mr George Urqhart to showcase seldom seen single malts when most whiskies were being used as Blends. Over the decades, this pioneering range has featured more than 2,000 bottlings from almost 100 Scottish Distilleries. Always non-chill filtered these rare, single cask and small batch expressions have been created over four generations.
