Plan of the Day: On our last day enjoy a drive to the country side to get a tour and tasting at Glenkinchie Distillery, lastly, dinner at the Top Hat House.

Glenkinchie Distillery

Glenkinchie proudly serves as one of the Four Corners of Scotland distilleries of Johnnie Walker, representing the Lowland home of this iconic blend. Here, craftspeople distil the Edinburgh Malt that is enjoyed around the world on its own and as a vital component of Johnnie Walker whiskies. Experience Glenkinchie distillery for yourself with an immersive experience which will bring you face-to-face with the traditional production methods as well as the revered malt itself.

Inside Tour

For about an hour and a half, we were treated to an extensive tour of the facility, uncovering every nook and cranny along the way. To officially kick off the tour, Karen rang a huge bell—much like those found aboard ships. It was large, loud, and commanding. Karen gave it two powerful swings of the clapper, amplifying the volume with impressive force. I told her to imagine ringing the Commanding Officer aboard a ship, and she nailed it with authority and enthusiasm. A truly memorable moment that set the tone for the adventure ahead!
