Glenburgie is a large Speyside distillery whose production of over 4m litres per year is almost entirely destined for the Ballantine’s blend. The distillery’s association with Ballantine’s goes back as far as the 1930s when Glenburgie was brought out of mothballs by new owner Hiram Walker. As well as its traditional pot-distilled whisky, Glenburgie made a separate spirit called Glencraig on a pair of Lomond stills from 1958-1981. Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) bought Glenburgie in 2005 following a major reconstruction during which the distillery was completely demolished and rebuilt.
Official bottlings of Glenburgie have always been extremely rare due to its importance to Ballantine’s, although a handful of new official bottlings under the Ballantine’s brand have appeared since 2017. Gordon & MacPhail have been releasing licensed bottlings of Glenburgie since the 1980s and other independent bottlings (including some excellent Glencraigs) have become more frequent in recent years.
Thompson Bros is an independent whisky bottler launched by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson, owners of Dornoch distillery and the Dornoch Castle Hotel in the northeastern Highlands.
The Thompson Bros operation was originally set up as an indie bottler to raise funds for the brothers’ Dornoch micro-distillery project but has since become a successful enterprise in its own right, with hundreds of bottlings under their belt at the time of writing in 2025. The Thompsons are big fans of old school whisky and their whiskies are bottled without colouring or chill filtration, usually at cask strength.
