Nestled in the rolling hills of East Lothian, Scotland, the Glenkinchie Distillery stands as a picturesque testament to the art of whisky-making. With its classic pagoda roof and serene surroundings, this Lowland gem has been crafting exceptional spirits since 1837. The distillery's beauty is matched only by the care and expertise that goes into every bottle it produces. This particular offering, a Glenkinchie 10-year-old bottled in the 1990s, encapsulates a moment in time from this esteemed distillery. Aged for a decade in carefully selected oak casks, this whisky represents the culmination of generations of distilling knowledge and the unique character of the Lowland region. Each bottle serves as a liquid snapshot of Glenkinchie's heritage, inviting whisky enthusiasts to experience a piece of Scottish distilling history.
Glenkinchie was built by the Rate brothers in 1837, but was closed in 1853 when the brothers went bankrupt. The distillery then became a sawmill. However, in 1881 a group of investors from Edinburgh rescued the distillery. In 1914 the distillery joined Scottish Malt Distillers. Scottish Malt Distillers and DCL merged and later became Diageo, and the distillery remains in the firm to this day.
In 1998, Glenkinchie was selected as the lowland representative for the Classic Malts Collection.
