The most famous series by Gordon & MacPhail is the Connoisseurs Choice with over 40 different bottlings.
There is also a Cask Strength series and bottlings under the name Spirit of Scotland and Speymalt .
One thing all the bottlings have in common is the very high, excellent quality.


Longmorn - Private Collection
Founded in 1884 by John Duff in Elgin (Speyside), later sold to the Grant family (from Glenlivet).
Longmorn malts have long been one of the most important ingredients in the success of the "Chivas Regal" blend.
In 1970, Longmorn was sold to the Canadian giant Giant Seagrams - 32 years later - 2002 - then to the French company Pernot Ricard.
"Lhanmorgund" or "Lannmarnoch", as Longmorn is known in the Gaelic language, means "Place of the Holy Man" because the distillery was built on the site of an old cemetery and chapel.
The fact that the distillery now belongs to the French requires that the "inhabitants" of the cemetery turn around in the grave ....
