Description

A malt distillery that forms the Highland region representation in Diageo's Classic Malts of Scotland collection. The highest and coldest in Scotland, its unique setting and distilling practices all contribute to the production of a spirit that has been highly prized by blenders over the years. One of Scotland's most iconic and long-running independent bottling brands. Introduced by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1970s, it has been their flagship label ever since.
