Independent Bottlers

What are independent bottlers?

While distillers make all the whisky, they're not responsible for every bottle on the shelf. There are a whole host of other companies who select casks and bottle whiskies – the independent bottlers. From casks that the distilleries can't release to those that they won't, the indies offer an alternative take on whisky, giving us the chance to try a huge range of different drams.

    For more than 120 years, Gordon & MacPhail has been one of Scotland's most well-known independents. Still family owned, the company has grown far beyond the walls of the Elgin grocers where it started, and is now one of the world's biggest independent whisky bottlers.
