MacPhail's 1937 Gordon and MacPhail 50 Year Old 'Book of Kells' Decanter

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 is a unnamed Speyside single malt that was distilled in December 1937 and aged for 50 years. It was bottled in December 1987. Rumour has it that these undisclosed malts were in fact Macallan, but this has never been confirmed.
