Gordon & MacPhail The Dramtakers Collection Volume 1
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail 6 x 70cl
The Dramtakers Collection Volume 1 is an extraordinary selection of long-aged Speyside single malt whiskies released at cask strength by indie bottlers par excellence Gordon & MacPhail. All the whiskies included are over half a century old, with the most recent having been distilled in 1971, and taken together the whiskies have been aged a collective 331 years! The set represents a significant saving on the individual bottle prices.
This remarkable collection from G&M features six bottles of glorious Speyside single malt whisky, with the youngest whisky in the collection being a 50-year-old Mortlach 1969 and the oldest a stunning Glenlivet 1954 68-year-old.
Just 100 of these incredible Dram Takers Collection sets were released in 2025, with the other bottles in the collection including a Longmorn 1966 55-year-old, Linkwood 1967 54-year-old, Glenrothes 1969 52-year-old and Strathisla 1971 52-year-old.
A glorious, expertly-curated selection of some of the most significant distilleries in the Gordon & MacPhail story, this magnificent set of Speyside treasures were bottled at cask strength between 2019-2023 from a selection of first fill and refill sherry hogsheads and butts. The Dram Takers Collection whiskies have been bottled under G&M's iconic Book of Kells label, and the set arrives in a very sturdy wooden presentation box.
