product Details
1981 Royal Wedding Miniature x 2 inc. Glenburgie
Includes:
- Glenburgie 1948-1961 Gordon and MacPhail Royal Wedding 1981 Miniature 5cl 40%
This was bottled to to commemorate the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981. Produced with malt distilled in 1948 and 1961, the years of couple's births.
First established as Kilnflat distillery in 1829, the plant became known as Glenburgie in 1871 when it was bought by Charles Hay. After closing down in 1925, it was eventually acquired by Hiram Walker, alongside Miltonduff distillery, as the firm sought to build a portfolio to supply its newly acquired Ballantine's blend. Today the distillery and Ballantine's are still closely linked, so much so that there have been very few distillery bottlings, the most recent being a 15 year old under the George Ballantine & Sons banner, released in 2017. Prior to this, the majority of the rare examples of Glenburgie on the market came in the form of independent releases like this.
- Royal Wedding Commemorative Miniature 5cl 40%
A blend bottled by Ian MacLeod of Edinburgh.
