Glenburgie may not be a household name, but for those who love Ballantine’s, its heart beats strong in every sip. For decades, Glenburgie has been the foundation malt, the soul behind Ballantine’s harmony. Now, bottled on its own at 15 years old, it takes center stage with grace and quiet confidence. This is a rare chance to experience the signature softness and fruit-forward profile that defines one of Scotland’s unsung distilling legends.

Interesting Fact:
Though Glenburgie has been distilling since 1810, most whisky fans have only tasted it as part of a blend. This 15 year old release is one of the few official single malt bottlings ever made available under the Ballantine’s name.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat to appreciate its full creaminess, or add a single cube of ice to mellow the spice and reveal more fruit notes. It also pairs beautifully with soft cheeses or apple tart.

Distillery Background:
Glenburgie is located near Forres in Speyside, surrounded by barley fields and gentle hills. Known for its compact stills and steady production, it has long been treasured for producing a full, fruity new make spirit that blends beautifully but now stands proudly on its own, revealing the craftsmanship behind the curtain.
