    Brilliant experience. Soon as you arrive at the distillery. Looks amazing from the outside. Everyone was very enthusiastic and welcoming. And the tour was brilliant with the guy that took it and I Loved how they broke everything down and had an amazing small scale model of all the procedures they go through to make a fine whisky 🥃. Definitely recommend the tour. It's really well thought out for the visitor. As I don't drink alcohol . I was given a gift box to take away 3 samples of whisky and was given a non alcoholic cocktail. At the end. Went to the bar after it and the tour guide recommended a Guinness non alcoholic and never tried one before. That's me hooked and the girls working at the bar were really friendly . 🥃

    Wonderful experience at the distillery. We were met at the door with friendly faces who were very helpful and informative. Our tour was extremely enjoyable and our tour guide, Pascal, was knowledgeable, kind, and entertaining. The whisky was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend a tour for those visiting the Edinburgh area.

    Amazing tour in real distillery. Warm welcome from nice people. The story telling, the tour in the distillery and the tasting of whiskey was very well organised. We had also lunch there and coffee and whiskey in the bar after that. We spent wonderful time.Highly recommend. Thank you very much. We hope some day we will come back with friends again. Regards Mira and Ivan

    Fantastic afternoon, go early for a warm beverage or scotch before your tour. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with a full staff of welcoming individuals. Our tour with John W was informative and fun, we filled our own bottle to take home. The location was very easy to reach by cab from Edinburgh. Highly recommended!

    The Glenkinchie Distillery tour is the third or fourth distillery tour I've done over the years and it was one of the best. It is well suited to beginners with no or little knowledge of whisky, but as an enthusiast I enjoyed it too and learned some new things. The distillery is beautiful with lovely gardens and a fabulous bar serving cocktails and food. Keith was a fantastic tour guide - very knowledgeable and entertaining.

    We went here on our honeymoon to Scotland, and both my husband and I agreed this was one of the high points of our trip. Our guide was Willie and he was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. The tour was very informative and the opportunity to pull our own dram from a cask while we were there was a truly memorable moment. It is a bit outside of Edinburgh, but if you take an Uber it's not too expensive and the staff at glenkinchie are happy to set up a taxi back to Edinburgh. If you're on the fence about this and our a lover of whiskey, I wouldn't miss out on this wonderful gem!!

    We were here in January 2018. Unfortunately they were rebuilding/restoring the part where you had the tours so we did saw where they stored their whisky. But we came back on the 5th of September. We didn’t had the time to go for a tour because we came all the way on the motorbike from Newcastle and still needed to go to Edinburgh AND Stirling 🤣🤡 but they arranged a mini tour because of us not seeing it in 2018 and of the little time. We saw a lot in 10/15 minutes. It was amazing. Such good customer service ❤️ definitely recommend

    I've done quite a few distillery tours and this has been my favourite so far. The staff are amazing and clearly love interacting with guests - we had Pascal who did such a great job of keeping us engaged, even those of us who weren't whisky drinkers. It was awesome to be able to walk around the working distillery. They also provide a takeaway pack for designated drivers. Absolutely loved it and will be back next time we've got guests over!
