Gordon and MacPhail started in business in 1895 as a licensed grocers and wine and spirit merchant. Unlike many other similar contemporary companies, the have retained all the original aspects of their business as well as extending into vatting, blending and bottling, and are unique in maturing all their whiskies from new. They recently moved into distillation with the purchase of Benromach Distillery from United Distillers. They also produce this liqueur, which won a Silver Award (1985) at the International Wine and Spirit Competition and a Gold Award (1987), when it was named 'the best liqueur in the world'.

Tasting comment : Based on a traditional recipe, this liqueur has a good whisky association coming through its sweetness. It is herbal on the nose, with a long, warming finish.
