Had an amazing experience at the Glenkinchie Distillery! The tour was both informative and fun, and the distillery itself is absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Kirsty, was fantastic – incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely friendly. She made the whole visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Wonderfully charming and handsome Glenfiddich! We had such an insightful, incredible and wonderful sensory experience doing the Distillery tour of Glenfiddich. We went with some friends and our tour guide was incredible at story telling, walking us through the process so clearly, I learn so much about whiskey 🥃 in 1 short hour and the experience will always be remembered. I enjoyed the whole journey from start to finish. Such a cool tasting experience, unlike anything I’ve done before. High highly recommend doing this if you’re in Edinburgh!

Fantastic tour and tasting with John B. We visited the distillery on a Sunday morning, we signed up for the Flavour and Cask experience. Our guida John gave us a very professional and extremely informative tour of the distillery history and production. This included insights on how the different stages of production affect the final taste of the whisky. The final tasting was very good, and John expertly guided us through the different drams. Among those, the Glenkinchie dram drawn from an ex-bourbon cask was spectacular. The cafè near the tasting room is also very cosy and relaxing. Overall we loved this experience, and we might go back for different tastings.
