Glenburgie, also known as Glenburgie-Glenlivet, Glen Burgie or Glenburry, is a whisky distillery near Alves, Moray. Most of the whisky distilled at Glenburgie is used for blends, most importantly Ballantine's, but also Old Smuggler. The distillery is located on an estate at the Mill Buie hills near Kinloss. In 2000, production stopped entirely at Glenburgie. The distillery was completely rebuilt in 2003-2004, only retaining the stills from the old distillery.

On the nose, creamy notes of apricot and vanilla open the way, joined by toasted coconut and tropical fruit salad. Soft and fruity on the palate, light to medium bodied, canvas, cotton, balsa wood, wood pencils, subtle tobacco and charcoal drawing supplies, herbal funk toward the end, yeasted bread dough and hops. The finish was long with mellow notes of earth, tobacco, charcoal, paper, and lemon zest donuts.
