An 8 year old bottling of Avonside blended and bottled by Jas Gordon & Company, Elgin.

Rarely seen, this was bottled under another Gordon & MacPhail pseodonym, Jas. Gordon &  Co.

Rumour has it that Avonside was actually single malt from Glenlivet, however the title has also been used by Gordon and MacPhail for their blends and blended malts.

Gordon & MacPhail are one of the largest and most recognisable whisky companies in the world. Although they began distilling at the newly refurbished Benromach distillery in 1998, for most of their history they were an independent bottler. Their labels are recognised by whisky lovers the world over, and their licensed bottlings from distillery's like Macallan and Talisker in the 1970s and 1980s, when the companies were not bottling themselves, are a huge part of the success of those distillers today.
