Gordon & MacPhail have been purveyors of fine goods across three centuries and, over many years, have built up and nurtured special relationships with local producers. Among these are several local whisky distilleries in the Speyside region from whom they purchase new-make spirit to be matured in their own oak casks.
However, there is only one distillery for which they reserve the title ‘Speymalt from Macallan Distillery’.
Established in 1824 and situated overlooking the fishing beats on the River Spey, the Macallan Distillery produces a wonderfully complex spirit, which they then carefully mature in quality oak casks ordered specifically for the ‘Speymalt from Macallan Distillery’ range.
Each bottling carries the vintage of distillation and the year of bottling, capturing an exceptionally mature single malt whisky.
Official 18 year old Macallan bottlings are now becoming every more expensive and ever more difficult to obtain which makes this G&M bottling an outstanding bargain.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with mahogany highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Opulent sherry richness envelops ripe raisin and fig with orange zest, glazed with toffee and vanilla. Cinnamon and clove spice mingle with toasted oak and a whisper of cocoa, crafting a refined Speyside bouquet with seasoned depth.
Palate
Luxuriously velvety on the palate, this Macallan Speymalt unfolds with dark fruit and toffee: raisin, fig and orange zest weave through creamy vanilla. Sherry sweetness and warm spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—are balanced by refined oak, delivering a structured, elegant mouthfeel. The finish is long and polished, with cocoa, leather and a final echo of spice.
Finish
An elegant, long finish that lingers with sherried sweetness—figs and raisins—woven with warm oak, cocoa and orange zest; a gentle spice tail leaves the palate ready for the next sip.
