The Glenlivet Distillery sits in a wild and remote glen with its history laced with drama and intrigue. It's a tale of grit and graft of seeing off smugglers, excisemen and copycats. And knowing the importance of home and putting it on the map.

Gordon & Macphail have an unrivalled knowledge of Scottish single malts. And passion for matching spirit with oak, the Urquhart family held a long-standing ambition to own a distillery. This desire became a reality in 1993 with the purchase of the Benromach Distillery on the outskirts of Forres, just 12 miles from the steps of the shop in Elgin.
