Glenkinchie Distillery

Nestled in the rolling farmlands of East Lothian lies Glenkinchie Distillery, founded in 1837 by John and George Rate. The name Kinchie, it is believed comes from ‘de Quincey’, the family who originally owned the estate. The distillery has been active since 1881.

Glenkinchie is Edinburgh’s Malt. It has been enjoyed by the citizens of Edinburgh and the wider region since it opened in 1837. Glenkinchie is home to a unique model distillery housed within our exhibition. We stock a wide range of whisky from across Scotland including our own Glenkinchie “Distillery only bottling” – a fine expression found exclusively in our shop. We also offer clothing, branded glassware and many gift ideas including purses, wallets and bags made with our own Glenkinchie Tweed.
