Longmorn 2005 Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Gordon & MacPhail Distillery Labels (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
For more than a century, Gordon & MacPhail has been entrusted with new-make spirit from more than 100 Scottish distilleries to mature in their way, using casks made to their exacting specifications. The ‘Distillery Labels’ range is a celebration of these long standing and unique relationships. The history of this range heralds back to their very beginnings – to the days when distillery spirit was produced primarily to be used in blends. Because of the strong working relationships Gordon & MacPhail had with distillery owners, they would bottle and sell the spirit they created as single malt on the condition that they used their ‘house’ label with the caption “bottled by Gordon & MacPhail”.
This bottling has been released at 46% ABV instead of the usual 43% ABV. The spirit was taken form the Longmorn Distillery in Speyside and left to mature in ex Bourbon and ex Sherry barrels for around 15 years.
