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.
Traveler reviews
Fantastic transfer to Glenkinchie Distillery
We booked this tour as a transfer only from Edinburgh to Glenkinchie Distillery. It seemed pricey for just a transfer but ended up being worth it. It’s quite difficult to get to the distillery without a car so booking this service provided peace of mind. Our driver, Rose, was fantastic. The bus ride was not technically a guided tour but Rose told us many historical facts and funny stories throughout the ride. She is a phenomenal story teller! She really tied the whole experience together. The bus itself was clean and comfy. Would definitely recommend this service to visit the distillery
A fun whiskey experience
If you like whiskey, then this is a great experience close to Edinburgh. Nicol, our guide at Glenkinchie was terrific.
A must do!
Great trip and tour. It was very interesting you really get to see everything! Paul was a great guide! Very helpful and funny!
Highland Tours and more!
Highland Experience Tours gave me and the family a brilliant timed trip on 27th May around the Highlands and surrounding areas. Our driver/tour guide Moray gave amazing topical information from start to finish and played amazing music throughout. Would highly recommend booking a tour with them and great value of knowledge all day Thank you!
Willie is fantastic!
Exceptional distillery tour at a beautiful distillery. Wonderful tasting of three great single malts. Our tour guide, Willie, made the tour interesting, educational and loads of fun.
