Product description
Gordon & MacPhail has been bottling and distributing whisky since the late 19th century and its current annual offering includes almost 300 products.
Speymalt from The Macallan Distillery is the result of over a century of collaboration between the two companies, and a permanent fixture in Gordon & MacPhail's core range. Few people know how many casks of The Macallan lie in the company's warehouses in Elgin, but we do know that the distillery's owners have repeatedly bought rare vintages of their own whisky from the distillery. Speymalt is bottled in vintage versions, the whisky presented here was distilled in 1990, matured in first and refill sherry casks, and was released in 1998.
