Glencraig
Glencraig is a distinguished single malt whisky originally distilled using Lomond stills at the historic Glenburgie Distillery, located west of Forres in Scotland’s premier Speyside whisky region. In 1981, the Lomond stills were replaced with two traditional pot stills, transforming Glenburgie’s production approach. Today, Glenburgie operates with a total of six pot stills, primarily producing high-quality malt whisky for the renowned Chivas blends. While the majority of Glenburgie’s output supports one of the world’s most popular blended Scotch whiskies, Glencraig single malts are highly valued by enthusiasts for their unique flavor profiles and exceptional craftsmanship. Situated in the heart of Speyside, Glenburgie Distillery continues to uphold its legacy of excellence, making Glencraig a sought-after name among Speyside single malt connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
