IOW11_Scotland

An Elgin-based whisky company is celebrating after scooping three top industry awards.

Whisky specialist and distiller Gordon & MacPhail was named as Whisky Retailer of the Year (Single Outlet) and Independent Bottler of the Year Islands (non Islay) at the prestigious Icons of Whisky Scotland Awards 2011. The firm was also named Whisky Brand Innovator of the Year for “raising the Bar of Independent bottling and quietly innovating with Benromach."

David Urquhart, Joint Managing Director of Gordon & MacPhail, said:

“We’re delighted to have been crowned both Retailer and Bottler of the Year in the Islands (non Islay) category, especially against some very impressive competition. It’s also a great honour to have been chosen as Innovator of the Year - we pride ourselves on creating unusual and ‘boutique’ whiskies and it’s terrific that our efforts have been recognised. We’d like to thank all the staff at Gordon & MacPhail for the hard work that made this achievement possible.”

Winners of the Icons of Scotland award will now go head-to-head with other Icons of Whisky finalists from across the globe, competing for the international title.
