Discover Glenkinchie

A staple of the Scottish Lowlands since 1825, Glenkinchie is one of the few surviving distilleries in the region. It’s just fifteen miles from the Scottish capital, earning it the nickname ‘The Edinburgh Malt’.  

However, the distillery feels a million miles away from the city, with fields of barley and hills that roll to the Firth of Forth.  

Named after the Kinchie Burn which provides water for the distillery, Glenkinchie is a delicately flavoured whisky which combines floral and creamier notes.  

Its light profile means it’s excellent pairing for seafood, particularly sushi and shellfish.  

A red wooden barrel lays on its side with the front facing forwards. On the front is printed, in gold writing, ‘Glenkinchie 1837’. The barrel lays outside on a wooden surface, with a wooden fence behind it.

Visit the Distillery

The distillery’s proximity to Edinburgh makes it ideal for anyone looking to escape the city for a day. The immersive tours give visitors the chance to sample the unique taste of Lowlands whisky and an in-depth look at how Glenkinchie develops from grain to glass.
