Cuvée presentation

A single cask Linkwood distilled in 1997, matured in a Sherry cask and bottled in 2013 for the Maison du Whisky by the independent bottling company Gordon & MacPhail. This company was founded in Elgin in 1895 by James Gordon and John Alexander Macphail. At the time, it was a delicatessen and wine merchant. In 1915 John Alexander MacPhail retired, and a new partner joined: John Urquhart. His son George joined the business in 1933, a few years after the death of James Gordon in a car accident. They worked with several major distilleries from Speyside, where they amassed considerable stocks. Gordon & MacPhail was also licensed to bottle whiskies for distilleries such as Glen Grant, Linkwood, Mortlach, Macallan and Glenlivet. The business flourished in the 1970s with distributors in several countries, as well as with the sales of casks to several Italian bottlers in selections that would become legendary. Today, Gordon & MacPhail is still run by the Urquhart family in its original building and is one of the most iconic bottlers in the industry with an abundance of whiskies – some of which are very old and extremely rare. Gordon & MacPhail is in total control of the entire maturation process. They have also owned the Benromach distillery since 1993.

The distillery Littlemill

Scotland, Lowlands. Distillery closed. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

Closed in 1994 and ravaged by fire in 2004, Littlemill's most prosperous years - compared to the period that followed - ran until the end of the 1990s.Despite the evident young age of the classic versions released by the distillery, ranging from 5 to 8 years, some vintages interspersed the 80s and 90s, including a 1964 and a 1975 vintage presented in a stocky, green bottle (1990s). These were accompanied by two very rare 30 year old versions released at the very start of the 1980s (distilled in the early 50s), including one limited to 87 decanters worldwide produced for the Italian importer F&G Bruino, with an ABV of 38.5%.
