Glenburgie has been around since 1810, although the company started under a different name: Kilnflat Distillery. In 1878 after having been closed for 8 years, the distillery reopened under its current name and has carried that since. As with many other distilleries Glenburgie changed hands various times until Chivas Brothers bought lock, stock and barrel in 2005. The lion’s share of its output ends up in Ballantine’s Blended Scotch, so a single cask bottling of this single malt is pretty rare.
