Glenburgie could be classed as a new distillery - the original 19th century Glenburgie distillery was demolished and completely rebuilt by Allied Distillers in 2003 before being sold in 2004/5 to Pernod Ricard, who subsequently expanded it even further. Only the stills were retained from the original building, arguably making it a new distillery.

Whatever this means for the character of Glenburgie, what is certain is that it will continue to be a fairly obscure blending beast in years to come as it always has been. Not widely known about outside fanatical whisky loving circles, it is a great shame because Glenburgie has produced some stunning malts over the years.
