Lot number: 076-0221
Winning bid: £410
Founded in 1895, Gordon & MacPhail has been bottling single malt whiskies for 120 years and by the 1950s it held the largest range of bottled malt whiskies in the world. This family-run business has bottled the oldest single malt whisky in the world as well as being a distiller itself after buying Benromach in 1993.

It was sold to W&P Lowrie & Co. Ltd in 1904, who went into partnership with James Buchanan in 1906 and later became part of Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD) and Distiller's Company Ltd (DCL) (now Diageo) in 1925.
