A New Era for Gordon & MacPhail

The 128-year-old family-owned independent bottler stunned the
whisky world this week with news that it will stop sourcing new
make spirit from other distillers starting next year. Instead,
Gordon & MacPhail will focus on single malts from its two
distilleries, Benromach and The Cairn in the future. With decades
of maturing whisky on hand, the change won't be felt for at least
12 to 15 years and Gordon & MacPhail will continue bottling
older whiskies for decades to come. We'll discuss the change in
philosophy with G&M managing director Ewen Mackintosh on this
week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. On Behind the Label, we'll celebrate
the 200th anniversary of the Excise Act of 1823, which directly
led to today's Scotch Whisky industry, and we'll have tasting
notes for whiskies from Bunnahabhain, Lost Lantern, and Dràm Mòr,
too.
