About this bottle
MacPhail's Aged 50 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptionally rare, premium Speyside single malt bottled independently by the legendary Gordon & MacPhail.
In keeping with the tradition of the "MacPhail's" labeled line, the exact distillery of origin is a closely guarded secret, which adds an alluring air of mystery to this half-century-old dram.
