product Details

Macallan 1970 Gordon and MacPhail Speymalt / LMDW

Gordon & MacPhail helped Macallan survive during the 1930s and 1940s by buying a regular batch of stock from them, and this good standing has given them continued access to high quality casks over the years. The Speymalt series provided an excellent and affordable way to experience vintage Macallan as the popularity of distillery bottlings made them increasingly difficult to source.

Gordon & MacPhail are one of the largest and most recognisable whisky companies in the world. Although they began distilling at the newly refurbished Benromach distillery in 1998, for most of their history they were an independent bottler. Their labels are recognised by whisky lovers the world over, and their licensed bottlings from distillery's like Macallan and Talisker in the 1970s and 1980s, when the companies were not bottling themselves, are a huge part of the success of those distillers today.

This whisky was distilled on 30th September 1970 and laid to rest in First-Fill ex-Sherry Butt #8326 before being bottled on 26th June 2009.

Bottled exclusively for French Spirit Merchants, La Maison du Whisky.
