THE DISTILLERY

Glenkinchie proudly serves as one of the Four Corners of Scotland 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. You can also visit our bar for cocktails, drams, coffees and sharing platters. We look forward to welcoming you at Glenkinchie, the Lowland Home of Johnnie Walker.

Advanced booking for tours and experiences is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. Please note that the distillery is in its 'silent season' from 9th April until 17th June 2024 and unfortunately guests cannot visit the production area of the distillery during this time. We do have a range of alternative tastings and experiences available which you can book online.

If you plan on visiting us with your dog, please view our full policy here.
