Gordon & MacPhail

Hi.

Gordon MacPhail, Fraser Sooners.

Gordon MacPhail, I'm confirmed.

Gordon MacPhail will be there as well.

So Ian McLeod, CBH, Gordon MacPhail, Whiskey Craft, Ardham Arkin, Woodrow's of Edinburgh, Inch Dairney, Hunter Lane on the Ho, Glenfinnic, Arbeekie, Fragrant Drops.

They're all lined up.

That's 11.

I mean, great selection of bottlers coming as well.

They stocked a lot of indies.

So I learned about Gordon MacPhail, Duncan Taylor as well.

That was a brand new name for me when I moved to Glasgow.

And they were less expensive as well.

What can you tell me about this whiskey?

Well, the guys had a relationship of long standing with Gordon & MacPhail, obviously around the Speymalt product.

This Glen Fraser, I believe, came about because, how funny is this, Gordon & MacPhail had a surfeit of older Macallan.

So they simply bottle it up under a trade name of Glen Fraser.

I love this liquid.

The contest runs from now through September 27th.

We have a link for more details in the show notes for this episode at whiskeycast.com. There's a new leader in the race to release the world's oldest single malt, and surprise, it's not from Gordon and McPhail.

The Balvenie has released the 88, an 88-year-old single malt distilled in 1931, the same year the distillery's floor maltings opened.

Back in 2019, malt master Kelsey McKechnie made the decision to take the whiskey out of its refill sherry butt and put it into glass to stop the aging process.

It's the oldest peated whiskey ever released by Loch Lomond Distillery.

Just 2,600 bottles will be available with a recommended retail price of £750 each.

And Gordon McPhail is out with a new 12-year-old Benromix single malt.

It's matured in first fill sherry casks and is available in the UK and select export markets for around 45 pounds a bottle.
