Glencraig 1970 Gordon & MacPhail Bourbon Cask - One bottled 1998 Connoisseurs Choice

Cuvée presentation

The Glencraig 1970 is a single malt Scotch produced by the Glenburgie distillery, located in Speyside. Distilled in 1970, this whisky was aged in bourbon casks before being bottled in 1998 by Gordon & MacPhail as part of the "Connoisseurs Choice" range. Bottled at 40% ABV, it presents a rare expression, as Glencraig was produced between 1958 and 1981 using Lomond stills, offering a distinctive profile. The Glenburgie distillery is best known for its contribution to blends such as Ballantine's. Gordon & MacPhail was founded in Elgin in 1895 by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail. As was often the case at the time, the business started out as a delicatessen and wine merchant. In 1915, John Alexander MacPhail retired and a new partner joined the business, John Urquhart. He was joined by his son George in 1933, a few years after James Gordon died in a car crash. Gordon & MacPhail works with many of Speyside’s leading distilleries, from whom it has accumulated considerable stocks. It is also licensed to bottle whiskies for many of them, including Glen Grant, Linkwood, Mortlach, Macallan and Glenlivet. The business really took off in the 1970s, acquiring distributors in a huge range of countries and selling casks to several Italian bottlers in selections that would become legends in their own right. Gordon & MacPhail is still run by the Urquhart family today, from the same building, and is one of the most iconic bottlers in the industry, with incredible stocks of sometimes very old and rare whiskies. The company is in complete control of the entire maturation process. Gordon & MacPhail has also owned the Benromach distillery since 1993.

The distillery Glenburgie

Originally known as Kilnflat, this distillery was renamed by Charles Kay in 1871. It was then bought by Hiram Walker, who used almost all of the malt for the Ballantine's blended whisky. For this reason, most Glenburgie single malts are only available as independent bottlings.
