OUR PHILOSOPHY

Since 1895, Gordon & MacPhail has been trusted with new-make spirit from over 100 Scottish distilleries. Developing these long-standing relationships are as important to us today as it was a century ago.

Each distillery produces a unique spirit, created using three simple ingredients: malted barley, water and yeast. The spirit’s characteristics are determined by many factors such as the dimensions and design of the copper stills, and of course the oak cask that nurtures the spirit during maturation.

We carefully select wood that will complement and nurture the spirit. Our Sherry casks are made in Jerez, Spain, to exacting specifications and seasoned before being shipped to Scotland. Meanwhile, our local partners, Speyside Cooperage, help us source the highest quality ex-bourbon casks from North America.

It is this cask curation that allows us to consistently deliver our range of perfectly balanced whiskies, which will only carry the Gordon & MacPhail name when four generations of experience deems them ready.

Maker Notes

Melbourne-made, distillery batched
Traditionally an Italian aperitif, ours is a distinctly Australian twist on a classic. We start with our bold, Melbourne-made whisky, aged in Australian red wine barrels. With its big, fruity flavour, Starward whisky was always crafted to sing in a cocktail.

READY TO POUR COCKTAILS

Starward bottled cocktails are pre-mixed and ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages that are made with premium ingredients and aged in Australian wine barrels. They are available in a variety of flavours and styles, such as New Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Coffee Old Fashioned. They can be enjoyed straight from the bottle or poured over ice. These cocktails are a convenient and easy way to enjoy a delicious, high-quality drink without the need for mixing or preparation.

The dinner party starter
Our twist on the Old Fashioned is a distillery-batched cocktail, patiently perfected. As any bartender will tell you, a good Old Fashioned is notoriously difficult to get right. But fortunately for us, we’ve got expert bartenders and whisky distillers under the one roof.

Less fuss, more flavour
We start with our award-winning single malt whisky. With its red-wine-barrel richness and juicy, fruity flavour, it shines in a cocktail.

Bourbon that meets these requirements and that has been aged for a minimum of at least two years may be called straight bourbon. Very Old Barton is a Kentucky straight bourbon that has been matured for an average of four to six years in charred, American oak casks before being bottled at 100 proof. As a result, the bourbon has a rich amber color along with an aroma of vanilla beans and chewy leather. Notes of rich caramel, nougat, rye spices and toffee dominate the palate, and lead to a bold finish. The bourbon was named one of the "Best Budget Bourbons" by Serious Eats and "Best Buy Whiskey of the Year" by Whisky Advocate. 

Casa Dragones Barrel Blend, 100% Blue Agave Añejo sipping tequila, achieves its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood barrels, new French Oak and new American Oak, each selected for their individual flavor and characteristics.

Tasting Notes

Body & Color: Light caramel, with bright hues and pronounced legs.

Aroma: Fresh floral, pear with notes of figs and almonds.

Taste: Notes of macadamia, nutmeg and blackberry.

Finish: Long round finish, notes of cacao, spicy black pepper.

Using whey alcohol from the local dairy farmers here in Cork, together with our own natural well water and an interesting mix of foraged and sustainably sourced botanicals, we have hand-crafted a gin that highlights the character of Bertha in her prime.

And what a name!! The mere mention of it raises eyebrows, poses question, taxes the mind and brings a smile to the lips. Hurrah, our work here is nearly done!

Like any good Irish tale, the story behind our wonderful Bertha’s Revenge Gin is a tapestry of good fortune, endeavour and passion. Funnily enough, our gin took about 10 months from conception to birth, not a dissimilar length of time to the average gestation period for a cow!

Braulio is an Italian aged Amaro with a unique and balsamic profile that captures the distinctive aromas and flavours of nature in the Stelvio park in northern Italy

Triple distilled, flame charred, for a rich smooth taste.

Charring is an age-old method for invigorating barrels to intensify the taste. Jameson Black Barrel is our tribute to our coopers, who painstakingly give their bourbon barrels an additional charring to reveal their untold richness and complexity. The select double charred barrels produce a whiskey with even richer flavor and intense smoothness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Time spent maturing in these barrels leads to intensified aromas of butterscotch, fudge and creamy toffee.

Taste: Nutty notes are in abundance alongside the smooth sweetness of spice and vanilla.

Finish: Enjoy the richness and intensity of toasted wood and vanilla.
