Situated in the Speyside region of Scotland, Glenburgie Distillery (pronounced glen-burg-ee) sits just off the main Aberdeen-Inverness road between the burghs of Forres and Elgin. The distillery was founded in 1810 by William Paul, who originally named it Kilnflat. In 1878, however, the distillery changed hands and was renamed Glenburgie. The distillerys unique location and water source it is surrounded by temperate and fertile terrain and sources water from local springs on nearby Burghie Hill contribute to the fruity, floral whisky that Glenburgie produces.In 1935, the distillery was acquired by Hiram Walker; since then, the whisky produced at Glenburgie has been an essential component in Ballantines Whisky.

The company was founded by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail, who opened "in New, Centrical, and Commodious Premises, Nos 38 and 40 South Street... a Family Grocers, Tea, Wine and Spirit Merchant,"reported the Elgin Courant on May 24, 1895. Among the companys first employees was John Urquhart, a fifteen year-old apprentice who helped James Gordon select and purchase casks of whisky to bottle and sell at the store. When MacPhail retired in March 1915, Urquhart became a partner in the business, and when Gordon died suddenly just two weeks later, Urquhart became the senior partner. By 1950, Gordon and MacPhail held one of the largest inventories of bottled malt whiskies in the entire world, many of which were not available anywhere else.Today, the fourth generation of Urquharts direct descendants of John Urquhart leverage their experience and deep industry connections in order to obtain unique expressions of Scotch whisky.Glenburgie 10YO Single Malt Whisky is a single malt whisky aged in first fill sherry butts and refill sherry hogshead casks.
