A few words about Gordon & MacPhail and the selections that will be offered. Gordon & MacPhail (G&M) is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland and has legendary warehouses in Elgin where a century's worth of incredible casks from all over Scotland rest. G&M has bottled the oldest and rarest whiskies. There are a number of distilleries (such as Miltonduff and Mortlach) that are impossible to obtain except by G&M issues. G&M also owns its own excellent distillery, Benromach, to boot. Recently US sales got to the point that G&M's US distributer hired a North American Brand Ambassador to evangelize G&M's products: Chris Riesbeck. Chris will be at The Morgan to pour some extremely rare and fascinating drams. Among them, Bladnoch is a rare Lowland distillery that closed and was recently reopened. This selection is of the dwindling stocks of the old stuff. Imperial is a Speyside distillery that closed in the 1990s and has been the topic of intense discussion in the whisky community lately because of rumors that Chivas might rebuild it. Even if they do, however, it will be a new distillery inside the shell walls of an old ruined one and the Imperial whisky that Chris will be pouring comes from the dwindling stocks of a vanished beloved departed. All of these selections are special and worthy of note. It should be a terrific evening in a special venue.
