Gordon, David and Charles Graham, all young men but they possessed a vision, a desire & thirst for the creation of something truly bold and unconventional. And so they became the originators of Gordon Graham’s Black Bottle. It was not tho’, as many may suspect, created overnight. Instead, it was created in consequence of toil, of knowledge, of trials and annoyances and dare we say it, alchemy.

Now, over 140 years later, the spirit of alchemy burns bright once more as we pay homage to the three brothers’ relentless pursuit of the bold, of the experimental and the exceptional with the release of our Limited Edition Alchemy Series.
