Glenburgie was founded in 1810 as Kinflat Distillery by Willam Paul. Officially, the production of the distillery 1829. 1870 began Kinflat was closed. In 1878 she opened under the name Glenburgie - Glenlivet again. Charles Hay is the license holder. In 1884 the distillery was sold to Alexander Fraser & Co.. When they went into bankruptcy in 1925, Donald Mustad took over the lead at Glenburgie. In 1927, she was by James & George Stodart Ltd.. acquired. Production was stopped at this time. 1930 Hiram Walker bought a 60% stake - and in October 1936 the remaining 40 %. In 1958, the distillery was renovated. Two Lomond stills that were previously in Inverleven in use, were installed and the resulting single malt produced was sold under the name Glencraig. The Tennenmälzerei were closed. 1981 Lomond stills were replaced by conventional stills. 1987 Hiram Walker was acquired by Allied Lyons. From 2004 to June 2005 Glenburgie for £ 4.3 million has been completely renovated. Since then, the distillery when it comes to technology, state-of -the-art and the entire process can be carried out by a person by the simple pressing of keys.

The distillery has a mash tun ( mash do ) ( 4.7 t ) of stainless steel fermentation tanks and thirteen (wash backs) ( per 23,500 liters ). Is distilled into two coarse blisters (wash stills ) ( per 11,750 liters ) and two fine blisters ( spirit stills ) ( 15,000 l each ), which are heated by steam.

Samples

Glenburgie is primarily part of the known blends Ballantine's and Teacher's. As the original filling came out in 2002 a 15 year old single malt in the Special Distillery bottlings series of Allied.

With a little luck you can also find by independent bottlers now and then a Glencraig, which was until 1981 produced here. Signatory brought, for example, in 2003 a 28-year Glencraig on the market and Duncan Taylor in 2004, a 30 -year-old.
