This bottling of an 11-year-old Glenburgie single malt was produced by independent bottler Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers as part of the Carn Mor series. The whisky was distilled in 2010, matured in ex-Oloroso sherry hogsheads and bottled in 2022 in 1,795 bottles.
Glenburgie is a distillery near Forres, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1810 as Kinflat Distillery by Willam Paul. It closed in 1870 and reopened in 1878 under the name Glenburgie-Glenlivet. Since the 1930s, the distillery has belonged to Hiram Walker of Canada. In 1958 it was renovated and 2 Lomond stills, previously in use at Inverleven, were installed. The whisky produced from them was sold as Glencraig until 1981 when the Lomond stills were replaced by conventional stills. In 2004/2005 the distillery was completely renovated and in 2006 it was expanded by 50%. Today it belongs to Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard).
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
