Cuvée presentation

Small batch Caperdonich, distilled in 1968 and bottled in 1995 by Gordon & MacPhail. The company was founded in Elgin in 1895 by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail, initially operating, as was common at the time, as a grocer and wine merchant. John Alexander MacPhail retired in 1915 and John Urquhart joined the business as a new partner. His son George followed in 1933, a few years after James Gordon was killed in a car accident. The company worked with several major Speyside distilleries, building up substantial stocks and bottling whisky under licence for many of them, including Glen Grant, Linkwood, Mortlach, Macallan and Glenlivet. Business flourished in the 1970s, with distributors in several countries and casks sold to a number of Italian bottlers, many of whose selections have since acquired legendary status. Today, Gordon & MacPhail remains under the stewardship of the Urquhart family and operates from its original premises. One of the most iconic names in independent bottling, it holds vast stocks of whisky, including exceptionally old casks that are difficult to match elsewhere. Gordon & MacPhail oversees maturation from start to finish and has also owned Benromach distillery since 1993.

The distillery Caperdonich

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery closed.

Known until 1965 as Glen Grant #2, Caperdonich was the embodiment of a blender's malt. Built in 1898 just opposite Glen Grant, its owners (J&J Grant, Glen Grant Distillery) made use of it for only a few years before closing it down. When it reopened in 1965, it underwent major restoration and played a key role in the development of the Chivas Regal blend. From this period, only one 5 year old official bottling is still known. It would then not be until the turn of the 21st century, when Pernod Ricard became the owner in 2001 (before mothballing the site in 2002), that a handful of bottlings would be released in the Distillery Reserve Collection and Small Batch Release ranges. A truly endangered distillery!
