    About

    Glenkinchie proudly serves as one of the Four Corners distilleries of Johnnie Walker. We distil the Edinburgh Malt that is enjoyed around the world on its own and as a vital component of Johnnie Walker whiskies. Discover the generous spirit of our garden home where we create our rare Lowland style whisky, evoking fragrant flowers, dried cut grass, and nutty cereal. Following our renovation project, we’re now open to the public. Come explore our Victorian distillery and orchard gardens set within the abundant farmland and sweet-scented wildflowers of East Lothian, a mere 15 miles from Edinburgh. We look forward to welcoming you at Glenkinchie, the Lowland Home of Johnnie Walker.

    Accessible tour

    The tour was very accessible, well thought out plenty of room to get around . Even in the older part of the distillery. We couldn’t get to one part of the tour but we had an other tour guide allocated to us who showed us this part on an iPad . And was able to answer any questions we had about any part of the tour. There were lifts to help get me to the various levels in the new building .The staff were very helpful, I wasn’t able to reach my whisky in the tasting session but our guide Gavin was on hand to pass everything to me. I was made to feel welcome, and nothing seemed to much trouble for the staff.

    Unexpected sensory experiences and so much more

    Glenkinchie Distillery was unexpectedly good. Having visited some years ago I decided to take a trip to see what the new Visitor Centre was like. The reward, on a blazing summer day, was a beautiful garden, an Aladdin's cave of a shop, and a tour experience that surprised the senses. I'm not easily pleased as visiting places as a visually impaired person can often be a bit bland; especially guided tours where folk say things like "over here we have". Not so at Glenkinchie as the senses were challenged by the tour guide's wonderful story telling approach to explaining the whisky making process.
