Glenburgie, also known as Glenburgie-Glenlivet, Glen Burgie, or Glenburry, is a whisky distillery near Alves, Moray. There is evidence that the distillery was founded as early as 1810, at that time under the name Kilnflat. Official records of the distillery only exist from 1829. After the distillery fell into financial difficulties, it was closed in 1870 and renamed Glenburgie in 1871.

In 2000, production at Glenburgie was completely halted. Between 2003-2004, the distillery was completely rebuilt, retaining only the stills from the old distillery. Soon after, in 2006, two more stills were added, increasing the total production capacity to around 4,200,000 liters of pure alcohol per year.

The majority of the whisky distilled at Glenburgie is used for blends, especially for Ballantine's, but also for Old Smuggler.

Gordon & MacPhail: A Guide to the Scottish Whisky Bottler with Tradition

Gordon & MacPhail is one of the oldest and most prestigious independent whisky bottlers in Scotland, with origins dating back to 1895. Founded by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail, the company remains family-owned, managed by the Urquhart family, and is headquartered in Elgin, in the heart of Speyside, a region famous for its whisky production.

Over a Century of Whisky Expertise

Over the years, Gordon & MacPhail has developed unique expertise in maturing whisky. The company is known for selecting exceptional casks and aging them to perfection in their own warehouses. Many of their whiskies mature for decades, some for over 30, 40, or even 50 years before bottling.

A Diverse Portfolio

Gordon & MacPhail's range includes various product lines such as 'Connoisseurs Choice', 'Private Collection', and 'Generations'. Each line features its own theme and style, ranging from young, vibrant bottlings to rare, decades-old whiskies. Notably, Gordon & MacPhail also offers whiskies from closed distilleries, providing connoisseurs the chance to experience historically significant single malts.

Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

In addition to preserving tradition, Gordon & MacPhail places great emphasis on sustainability and the advancement of their production processes. The company has recently announced plans to gradually reduce its role as an independent bottler and focus more on producing its own distillates. This includes using whisky from their own distilleries like Benromach and The Cairn to enhance the quality and uniqueness of their products.

For whisky enthusiasts, Gordon & MacPhail offer not just a tasting of top-quality malts but also a profound experience of Scottish whisky history, marked by the company's dedication and passion.
