Assorted G&M Miniatures

How old is Glenburgie? The suggestion is that the site was used for distilling as far back as 1810 when William Paul established the Kinflat distillery, although the historical evidence suggests production didn’t commence until 1829, perhaps on a legal basis? The distillery itself endured until 1870 when it closed its doors for 8 years. When it reopens, it is with a new license holder and the Glenburgie name. More closures and owners follow at Glenburgie, however, the distillery is best known arguably for the introduction of Lomond stills in 1958, which allowed the distillery to produce different types of whisky. These single malt stills were known as Glencraig and lasted until 1981, while Glenburgie was still produced in the original stills. In 2004, the distillery was comprehensively rebuilt and expanded. This expansion has led to more support for the Ballantine’s blend and a variety of age statements have followed since, giving a new perspective on this old distillery to a new audience.
