Please note that during June 2026, Glenkinchie Distillery will be entering its Silent Season, meaning the Production area will be closed and the standard Flavour Journey tour will be temporarily unavailable for bookings during this period. Guests visiting in June will instead enjoy the Glenkinchie Sensory Experience — an immersive alternative including a Sensory Theatre tasting of the iconic 12-Year-Old whisky, a visit to the Model Room, and a guided tasting of 3 further whiskies in the atmospheric Maturation Room, totalling 4 exceptional drams. The transfer service from Edinburgh remains unchanged, and we look forward to welcoming you to one of Scotland's most celebrated Lowland distilleries.
