Gordon & MacPhail

When James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail announced the opening of their 'centrical and commodious premises' on South Street,Elgin, on 24th May 1895 they would be proud to see it still trading today. Stocking around 1000 different single malt whiskies, the Whisky Room attracts customers from throughout the world. Browsing through the wide selection of whiskies, many of which are very old and extremely rare, is like entering the Aladdin’s Cave of whisky. Please note that the Delicatessen section of the store is currently closed until further notice.

Amanda MacDonald gave us a very warm welcome to her department. Whisky, gin and other lovely selections of rare and unusual alcoholic purchases were available. We were introduced to the Benromach winter gin ‘Red Door’ which was delicious and remained warm in the back of our throats even after leaving the shop. Amanda explained the background and process of the gin extremely well and then informed us about the gin tour which is available at the Benromach Distillery For only £8 entrance fee. Thank you Amanda, I’m sure we will have a great time.

Glen Moray Distillery

A warm welcome awaits you at Glen Moray Distillery in Elgin. Glen Moray has been distilled on the banks of the River Lossie since 1897 by a small dedicated team of craftsmen. In over a century of distilling at Glen Moray, much has changed. However, the ingredients, processes and the skills of those responsible for producing this finest quality single malt whisky remain constant. A small, friendly and informal distillery, Glen Moray is situated in the city of Elgin, the historic capital of Speyside. The area around Elgin is known as the Laich of Moray and has a mild climate. Indeed, an old Moray saying proclaims that the Laich of Moray has forty days more summer than any other part of Scotland – making Glen Moray one of the sunniest distilleries in Speyside. The Visitor Centre runs tours of the distillery, tastings of the whiskies available and has a small coffee shop and gift shop.

We've visited Glen Moray several times before, it's one of the best in terms of value for money. This visit was for a lunch and tastings only - due to Covid restrictions, pre-booking is highly recommended. The food and the whisky is of good quality and very well priced. Our party enjoyed a light lunch followed by three different 'flights' of whisky at prices to suit all. Always enjoy a trip to Glen Moray! Good selection of gifts in the shop too.. (Sensible and secure Covid precautions in place, by the way.)

The BenRiach Distillery

Since 1898, the BenRiach Distillery has very quietly been producing quality single malt scotch whisky, which has only ever been enjoyed in very small quantities, by a few discerning individuals who have been fortunate enough to come across a bottle. Today, BenRiach continues to produce its very special Single Malt Whiskies, as an Independent Distiller. Situated in the 'Heart of Speyside', just south of Elgin, we distil whisky from both styles of malted barley, non-peated and peated. Connoisseur's tours are available by appointment only and are available on TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS at 10AM and 2PM. See the Visit Us section on the website for more details.

My husband and I attended a private tour & tasting with two of our friends with Jill as our tour guide. She was fantastic!! She was able to answer all of our questions and broke down the distillation process in a way that was easy to digest. It was especially interesting to learn that BenRiach if one of the only distilleries that will still malt its own barley on occasion! The tasting was also wonderful - she led and guided us and made it fun without any sort of pretentiousness. I’d recommend this tour and tasting to everyone and can’t wait to come back and do it again. BenRiach is one of our favorite distilleries so it was a treat to share it with a couple of friends and have such a great leader and guide. Thank you, Jill!
