The Distillery: The town of Elgin, in the north of eastern Scotland, is considered "the whiskey capital of the world". It was here that Gordon & Macphail was founded in 1895, by James Gordon and John Alexander McPhail. Their intuition was to combine the typical "drugstore" with the wine and spirits shop, combining two distinct commercial activities and effectively becoming, as far as whiskey is concerned, the pioneers of the single malt market outside the highlands. Their choices immediately proved to be more than right: by selecting and purchasing the best new whiskeys directly from the producer, then aging them in the best barrels and finally bottling them at the most appropriate time, Gordon & Macphail has dominated the single malt market in thirty years 1955-1985, becoming recognized for his complex and elegant style. Today the company, capitalizing on the excellent relationships it has been able to establish with all the Scottish distilleries, finds itself with an immense and diversified reserve of whiskey in its warehouses, and continues to be present on the market with prestige and authority.
