Linkwood 25 Year Old Gordon and Macphail Connoisseurs Choice 1959
Gordon & MacPhail is a distillery owner, and an independent bottler of Scotch whisky, famous for its richly diverse range of bottlings from some of the most notable distilleries in Scotland.
The business was founded in 1895 as a grocer and wine and spirit merchant in Elgin, in the northeast of Scotland. In 1915, former apprentice John Urquhart, took over full control of the business. More than a century later, Gordon & MacPhail remains a family business.
The range extends to several hundred expressions from around 70 different distilleries, including Glenlivet, Glenrothes and Talisker. The company gained global attention in recent years by releasing two 70-year-old single malts, one from Mortlach in 2010, and another from Glenlivet in 2012.
In 1993, the company purchased Benromach Distillery at Forres, in Speyside, which had closed 10 years before. It reopened in 1998, with the first bottlings in 2004.
