Gordon & MacPhail is probably the most important independent bottler in Scotland.

The most famous series by Gordon & MacPhail is the Connoisseurs Choice with over 40 different bottlings.
There is also a Cask Strength series and bottlings under the name Spirit of Scotland and Speymalt.
One thing all the bottlings have in common is the very high, excellent quality.

North Port Brechin
North Port-Brechin was founded in 1820 under the name Brechin in the Eastern Highlands.
