It is an absolutely brilliant experience at Glenkinchie. The staff are so knowledgeable about the distillery and exceptionally welcoming. John B who took us around was superb - spoke with real passion and knowledgeable about the whole history and production process. He made it great fun and it is definitely a must for all travellers.

We were guided around the distillery by Keith. He gave us a fascinating insight into the distillation process, together with a detailed explanation of the distillery's history, answering questions at every stage. We've been on distillery tours before but none can match this one.

It was an excellent experience guided by Pascal who explained all the details about the history of the company, the production process and secrets about “the understanding whisky” in a very friendly and sincere manner.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon at the Glenkinchie Distillery. Kirsten was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging. We couldnt recommend this experience highly enough.
