About Glenkinchie

In Scotland's East Lothian, the Glenkinchie Distillery produces single malt Scotch whiskey. It is one of the Lowland region's six distilleries. Owner of it is beverage tycoon Diageo. As its name suggests, Glenkinchie is located in an area of the Kinchie Burn close to the East Lothian settlement of Pencaitland. About 15 miles separate it from Edinburgh. The distillery is located in a rural area. The original proprietors of the property were known as 'De Quincy,' and their name is a corruption of that. The brothers John and George Rate founded it in the vicinity of 1825. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, it is likely that Glenkinchie is the Milton Distillery that was previously mentioned in the vicinity. Around 1837, the brothers most likely gave it a new name. The Rate Brothers filed for bankruptcy in 1853, and the location was turned into a sawmill. Under Maj. James Grey, the factory was repaired and whiskey production resumed in 1881. The distillery stopped malting its own grain in 1969, and the floors where it had done so were converted into a museum of malt whiskey. Prior to 1989, when United Distillers began selling the Glenkinchie label under the Classic Malts brand, it wasn't widely known.
