Cuvée presentation

Small batch Bruichladdich, distilled in 1969 and bottled in 1996 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 Bruichladdich

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Remy Cointreau

Owned by Invergordon Distillers from 1968 until 1993, when it joined the Whyte & Mackay portfolio, Bruichladdich closed in 1995. At the time it produced an unpeated malt primarily used for blends. Whilst well-known for its bourbon casks released in 10, 15 and 21 year old versions, it was above all the sherry-cask versions selected and bottled for the Italian market that made a lasting impression. It was for Moon Import that Penny Black 1968 and Bruichladdich 1965 (52%) - celebrating the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer - were bottled in ceramic jugs.Bought in December 2000 by Mark Reynier and reopened in May 2001, the distillery has since released endless limited editions and exclusive bottlings, including a superb 40 year old, several 1970 and 1972 vintages, and the Legacy range, primarily featuring bottlings from the late 1960s.
