With a history of just over 200 years, Glenburgie is one of the oldest surviving distilleries, and with only a dozen of those years officially hit by closure, one of the longest producing as well. A distillery of aliases, Glenburgie was originally called Kilnflat and in the latter half of the 20th Century also released a special malt under the name Glencraig. These days much of what is produced at the distillery ends up in blends like Teacher's and Ballantine's, leaving the Single Malt and Single Cask bottlings as rare luxuries.
