Gordon & MacPhail is an independent bottler of Scottish whisky and owner of Benromach Distillery, 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.
Glen Grant Distillery is located in Rothes, in the Speyside region of Scotland. It was founded in 1840, by brothers John and James Grant, two former illegal distillers and smugglers who decided to take out a license. By 1872, the founders of Glen Grant Distillery had died. Young James ‘The Major’ Grant, born in 1847, had always taken a keen interest in the distillery and having inherited the business and the title ‘Glengrant’ from his uncle John Grant, he was to prove himself a worthy successor. He was a legendary innovator, socialiser and traveller, who lived by his own rules and set his own standards. New ideas fascinated him and he wasn’t afraid to explore them. He was the first man in the Highlands to own a car. Glen Grant was therefore the first distillery to have electric light and he introduced the tall slender stills and purifiers which created the fresh malty flavour and clear colour that defines Glen Grant whisky to this day.
