Gordon and MacPhail Trade Samples x 8 / November 2018
The following lot is for a smartly presented set of samples from Gordon & MacPhail. These whiskies are from the famous Connoisseurs Choice series and the very exclusive Private Collection.
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.
The Connoisseurs Choice label is one of the most recognisable independent bottlings on the market, and this release follows the 2018 rejuvenation of the brand, which saw it reimagined as a premium single casks range.
These 2018 malts are part of the Private Collection range from the Elgin-based bottlers. As of that year, this line replaced the Rare Old series as its most premium offerings.
A booklet which details each of the whiskies and Gordon and MacPhail themselves is also included.
NOTE: The samples in this presentation set were produced as Trade Samples and never went on-sale to the general public. Therefore, these items were produced without sealed caps. Every effort has been made to examine both the liquid and the provenance of these samples to verify the contents as being original and authentic.
We would recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please contact us for a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise lots will be sold as seen in the images.
Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
