Glenburgie is one of the Scotland’s oldest operating commercial distilleries. Established in 1810, it has been in its present location since 1829. Several owners have controlled the property, including Ballantines, who acquired it in the 1930s. Since then Glenburgie has been an important component of Ballantine’s ‘Old Smuggler’ blended whisky. Though in the distant past the company released Single Malts, today these can only be enjoyed through independent bottlings such as this one from Gordon & MacPhail. Scotch expert, Michael Jackson, describes the house style as “Oily, fruity, herbal. [An aperitif malt].” |
